Brookfield's seventh-inning rally fell short, as Milan held on for an 11-10 victory.
The Wildcats jumped out to a 4-0 lead with a run in the first inning and three more in the third. However, the Bulldogs cut the deficit in half on RBI groundouts by Riley Hinckle and Ross Ehrich in the bottom of the third.
Milan responded with two runs, but Brookfield plated three to cut the margin to one run, 6-5 in the 4th. Brayden Shoop (3 BB, SB, 2 runs) walked with one out and stole second. Dayten Glasgow singled Shoop home and later scored on an RBI groundout by John Foster. Trayce Switzer (2 1B, HBP, 3 runs, RBI) singled, and scored on a single to center by Weston Linscott (1B, run, RBI).
The Wildcats were held scoreless in the fifth, but tacked on four runs in the 6th and another in the 7th for a six-run cushion. The Bulldogs were not done, however.
Ehrich (1B, HBP, run, RBI) reached on an error, but the next two batters recorded outs. A fly ball to left off the bat of Shoop appeared to be the final out, but it was misplayed into an error. Glasgow (2 1B, BB, SB, run, RBI) walked, and Foster (run, 2 RBI) also drew a free pass, scoring Ehrich. Switzer was plunked, plating Shoop, and Linscott reached on an error to score Glasgow. Hinckle (1B, 3 RBI) singled on a liner to center, scoring Foster and Switzer. Ehrich, who led off the inning, was hit by a pitch to reload the bases. But a strikeout snuffed out the rally, ending the game.
Hinckle started on the mound and allowed just 2 earned runs on 6 hits and 3 walks, while fanning 8 for the Bulldogs (3-7).
