Ruesink finished the game with three hits and an RBI.  Four players had two hits each in the game.  Geraets had two hits and three RBIs, Stone and Steineke both had two hits and two RBIs each, and Mason Goeken also had two hits.  Swartwout had a hit and an RBI.  Drew Van Regenmorter and Ty Wood also had hits in the game.
