Trevor Horwath's RBI single started the scoring in the sixth and McMillan roped a two-out, two-run single, extending Elmhurst's lead to 6-1 in the process. Wheaton scored a run in the sixth to trim Elmhurst's lead down to four, but Christian Ott singled home a run in the ninth to pad Elmhurst's lead to 7-2.
