The second game was much different on the scoreboard.

“We played good defensively and offensively in the second game, unfortunately, so did Bloomer,” said Rothbauer.

Moldrem was again at the helm, going all seven innings, giving up 16 hits and 14 runs.

On the offensive side, Reineke, Moldrem, junior Karlee Davis and Donahue all had 2 hits, while Bremness and Nerdrum each added a hit.

“Our team showed a lot of mental toughness through it all,” said Rothbauer.
