Behind 10-6 going into the bottom half of the last inning, Wal-Mart
scored four to tie the game and send it to an extra inning. Zach
Schleder got the rally started by beating out a throw for an infield
single. With the bases loaded, Tanner Smith ripped a double to
left-center to clear the bases and bring Wal-Mart within a run. With
two outs, Garrett Cooper lined a triple to left field to score the
tying run and extend the game. In the bottom half of the extra
frame, Josh Gill led off with a single, followed by Seth Graue's
double. With runners on second and third, Jason Buckles hit a
walk-off single to win the game for Wal-Mart.
Schleder, Corey Janssen and Gill had two-hit games for Wal-Mart.
Smith had four RBIs on the night. Andy Krusz (2-2) pitched the only
one-two-three inning to get the win in relief.
It was a gutsy performance for the Mount Pulaski team, at times
playing with only eight players because of injury. Dru Houser and
Jon Oberrieter had two hits each, with Houser scoring three runs.
Ben McCarty and Jake Stull also had base hits for Mount Pulaski.
