This crucial hit came after Jett Nelson launched a dropped fly ball into right field, setting up Madison’s game-winning home run.
On the pitching side, Northwestern’s Drew Dykstra had an impressive performance, giving up two runs (one earned) and striking out nine in six plus innings. In contrast, Jamestown’s starter Avery Liestman pitched a complete game, allowing just one run on six hits while striking out three.
