Key Stat Lines  
Head Coach Jon Mueller: "We had left the bases loaded three times without scoring. The defense was clean and Cregg Scherrer had one last bullet left in the chamber. He was absolutely in control the entire afternoon. This group wanted to do it the hard way and to their credit, they accomplished the goal of getting to the tourney. Coming back from 3-11 and finishing 7-2 down the stretch has been fun to be a part of.  Could not be more proud of the staff and team."
