Oshkosh, WI -- The St. Olaf baseball team stayed alive in the NCAA Midwest Regional with a 7-4 win over Ripon College Friday afternoon in Oshkosh, Wis. The Oles broke a 4-4 tie, scoring three runs in the bottom of the eighth to secure the win.
John Haugen earned the win, working the final 1 1/3 innings. Eric Tobias started and pitched a strong seven innings.
Mike Ludwig was 3-for-5 with two RBI's and two runs in the win. Ludwig's pop fly single that blew beyond the second basemen in the eighth drove in two runs and scored another on a throwing error.
Dan Johnson was 2-for-4 with three RBI's and Brad Baglien 2-for-5 for St. Olaf.
Each team had 11 hits. Tyler Witkowski had three hits for Ripon.
St. Olaf will play tomorrow morning at 11:30 a.m. in a second game against UW-Whitewater. The winner of the St. Olaf/Whitewater game will advance to meet UW-Oshkosh in the afternoon game at 3:00 p.m.
