In the third inning things opened up offensively. Wayne State got an RBI single by Guenther scoring Cameron Walker (Clinton Twp., Mich. / De La Salle) and giving the Green and Gold a 2-0. Winona State would respond in the bottom of the third however, Winona would load the bases with two outs before connecting on a two-run single to left followed by another RBI single to center giving the Winona Warriors the lead after three 3-2.
