STORY
The Sabercats took advantage of a couple of Wisconsin Lutheran errors in the first game of the day, capitalizing on their opportunities to score three runs in the 3-17 loss. The Warriors scored a run in every at-bat, with Braylen Robertson (3 RBIs) and Oliver Lopeztello (2-5, 2 RBIs) leading the way for the hosts.

Joe Anderson had the lone hit for Maranatha in game one, and the sophomore drew two walks, scored a run, and had a stolen base in the process.

Game two was a defensive battle, as Anderson once again provided the lone hit for Maranatha, who struggled to generate anything on the day. Henry Strupp was the main character for Wisconsin Lutheran in the second game of the doubleheader, going 1-3 with a run scored and two RBIs.
