CSS would score its fifth run of the game the next inning after Sam Christofferson (Maple Grove, Minn./Osseo HS ) tripled home Tyler Duex (Bloomer, Wis./Chippewa Falls HS (UW-Superior) ), who led off the inning with a double in the right-center field gap.
 
After Risse held the Knights scoreless in the top half of the fourth inning, the Saints went on to score four runs in the bottom half.  Trevor Bernsdorf (Meadowlands, Minn./Floodwood HS (Doane) ) singled home Olson to make it 6-0, and Duex would follow it up with a 3-run home run over the left field fence scoring Bernsdorf and Getchell setting the score at 9-0 CSS.
 
Three innings later of scoreless baseball, Getchell would end the game with a triple that brought in Al Marolt (Lino Lakes, Minn./Centennial HS) for the tenth and final run of the game with the final CSS 10 Martin Luther 0.
 
Duex would finish the day 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs scored.  Christofferson and Olson would also finish 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run apiece.  Getchell finished 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored.
