(Game 1) Point beats Aurora 3-2 in 10 innings


UW-Stevens squeezed out a 3-2 extra inning victory in game one of NCAA Division III Midwest Region baseball play Wednesday morning on Prucha Field at James B. Miller Stadium in Whitewater.

Point catcher Scott Considine’s suicide squeeze bunt in the bottom of the ninth inning scored Travis Tuschen on a bang-bang play at home plate to advance the Pointers to winner’s bracket action at 1 p.m. Thursday.

Aurora jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning. The Pointers tied the game with two in the fifth inning.

Scott Williams went the distance for UWSP giving up the two runs on just six hits. Williams struck out 12 while walking just two.

Gay Drew was the tough luck loser pitching all 10 innings for the Spartans, scattering eight hits, striking out four while not giving up a walk.

Next up for Aurora will be a losers bracket game at 10 a.m. Thursday vs. the loser of Wednesday’s second game between UW-Whitewater and St. Thomas.
