On DBU’s late-inning comeback…
“We let one slip away from us. We had some chances to add some runs on throughout the game and we didn’t take advantage when we had that opportunity.”
#MIZ Takeaways
- Senior Lukas Veinbergs had a career night, tossing five scoreless frames while fanning a career-high seven batters
- Freshman Ross Lovich made an impact on both sides of the ball, tallying one hit in the contest and making a circus catch up against the wall in left-center field to rob an extra base hit
