The RLC Warriors' Patrick Flanagan picked up the loss as Wabash scored one in the first, one in the second, two in the third, two in the fourth, six in the fifth and three in the sixth on 17 hits. RLC's only answer was a solo home run by freshman Derek Trovillion (Vienna) in the second inning. The Lake committed three errors in the field and produced only four hits via Trovillion, Luke Shuemaker (Paducah, Ky.) Hayden Hicks (Pinckneyville) and Brandon Heard (O'Fallon).
