Hamiter hit an RBI double, and Derek Hackman and Matthew Enck each had RBI singles.<\/p>\n<p>The Express made it a game again in the fourth when two runs scored on an error and two more came in on a single by Nick Marinconz. At that point it was 7-5. Willmar scored four in the next three innings to break away, two on a single by Brady Counsell, one on a sacrifice fly by Asa Awbrey, and another on a single by Hamiter.<\/p>\n<p>Eau Claire cut Willmar&#8217;s lead to 11-8 in the seventh on RBI singles by Max Blessinger and Jake Nelson, but the Stingers bullpen hurled two shutout innings in the eighth and ninth to seal the win.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all of our staff, players, coaches and fans for making this an incredible summer.
