Tim Munn (Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park HS) was able to score the fifth of the inning after a wild pitch allowed him to steal home.

They were able to increase their lead even further after a five-run fifth inning. RBIs came from Wollenzien, Pearson and Munn, plus a RBI triple by Cody Venske (Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater HS).
