Story | Boxscore | Play-by-Play
Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. - Bo Johnson and Eric Schwendimann both had two-run homers in the bottom of the eighth inning to help secure the Red Hawks 14-8 victory over the Saints. With the win, Ripon gets a bye for Thursday and will play next at noon on Friday against the winner of the Coe/St. Olaf game.
The Saints got on the board early, scoring two runs off starter Tyler Haddock in the top of the first. The Red Hawks answered with four in the home half of the inning. St. Scholastica added another in the second and three more in the fourth to go ahead 6-4.
In the bottom of the fourth, Ripon plated three to take the 7-4 advantage and the Red Hawks would not fall behind again in the contest. A two-run homer by Bob Able in the fifth, gave Ripon some breathing room, but the Saints would not go down quietly as they scored two in the top of the sixth to make it a 9-8 game.
Greg Basthemer came in to relieve Haddock in the top of the seventh and pitched three scoreless innings for the Red Hawks. He gave up just two hits in the effort.
Ripon had only one hit combined in the sixth and seventh innings, but exploded for five runs in the eighth to take the 14-8 lead, which would be the final. In the inning, Haddock led off with a double and Schwendimann drove him in with a long homer over the left field fence. Chevy Schultz got on with a walk and Kyle McFarland plated him with a double. Johnson then drove him in with a round-tripper to almost the same spot in left field.
The Saints were able to get the next two Ripon batters. In the top of the ninth, the Red Hawks got the first two outs easily, then a walk by Basthemer put a runner at first, but the righty hurler came back to strike out the last batter looking.
With the win, Ripon improved to 33-5, while St. Scholastica dropped to 37-5.
