With the game tied at 3 in the bottom of the fifth inning, Maddox Coleman lined a 3-2 pitch into right centerfield, plating two runs to give the Warriors a 5-3 advantage leading to a 6-5 victory over Minerva on Thursday afternoon.  The game was played in Minerva due to rainy weather all day in Beloit.  With the win the Warriors improve to 3-2, 2-0 EBC while Minerva falls to 3-3, 0-3 EBC.

West Branch pitcher Evan Springer (1-1) picked up his first career victory throwing five innings allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits while striking out two and walking one.  Dominic Fotheringham picked up his second save of the season, throwing the final two innings allowing two runs (zero earned) on one hit while walking one.

At the plate the Warriors only managed two hits, Coleman's clutch single and Jeremiah Thomas' single in the fourth inning, but walked six times and were hit by four pitches.

Boston Mulinix was on base three times while Coleman finished 1-1 with two walks.  

Next up for the Warriors will be a non-conference matchup with Streetsboro at home on Friday.  First pitch is scheduled for 5 PM.
