He was replaced by Garrett Lott (Bossier Parish Community College). Lott finished out the game, pitching 3.0 full innings with 5 strikeouts.

The defense was on fire tonight for the Chucks. Jake Berkland (Mankato) had another highlight reel play, a sliding stop and then a jumping throw to retire a runner at first.
