, Ben Havel and Alex Molek staked Elmhurst to an early lead.

Millikin scored a run in the bottom of the first and tied the game with two runs in the second. The Big Blue went in front for the first time all weekend with a three-run outburst in the third.

Elmhurst broke through in the sixth inning by sending nine batters to the plate and scoring five runs on four hits. All five of Elmhurst's runs came with two outs in the inning. A.J.

After Wolak walked, Tsiodras doubled to drive in two runs and put the Bluejays back in front 8-6.
