Hilbrands got the win to improve to 3-and-1. Hilbrands also drove in the Bulldogs first run with a first inning single. Le Mars added another run in the third when Jacob Pottebaum reached on a two-base error, went to third on a ground out and scored when Keaton Candor struck out but needed to be retired on a throw to first base. Jacob Wesselmann (2-2) took the loss, throwing 5 2/3 innings of three-hit ball with no walks and five strike outs. Le Mars improves to 9-and-3 for the season, having won 9 of the last 11.
