Back at the plate, Ryan Halfmann and Connor Olson did most of the damage at the plate: Halfmann went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run, while Olson got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Braedon Ellefson, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI.
