Oconomowoc appeared to pull away with two runs in both the top of the 7th and top of the 8th to make it 6-2. Starting pitcher Luke Nelson had to come out of the game in the bottom of the 8th after having side pains.

In the bottom of the 9th Nick Rechlitz led off with a single for Brookfield and was bunted to second. A walk and a wild pitch put runners at first and third.
