After three clutch runs in the seventh, the Meadow Lake White Sox came back to win it the St. Walburg Reds yesterday.

Batting in his second RBI of the game, designated hitter Quincy Winkler brought in Oystrick to tie the game at three.

The seventh inning was a nail biter with Oystrick scoring the go-ahead run and short-stop Kevin Gerwing adding on one.

Helping to get things done offensively was first baseman Chris Ellis who had two RBIs.

In the bottom of the seventh, Weran struck out two to close out the game.

With the win, the Sox improve to 10-5 on the season and remain one game ahead of Standard Hill for first place in the Smith Division.

Meadow Lake will close out the regular season on Monday, July 11 when they welcome the Edam Blue Sox to Assman Field.
