In the 3rd inning, Hollingsworth drew a walk.  Pinch runner, Mike Milam from the Le Sueur Braves went to second on a wild pitch,  then advanced to 3rd on a single by C Justin Johnson (Chaska Cubs).  After another walk to Olson by DRS reliever, Glen Parker of the Elko Express, that loaded the bases, Geason launched a fly ball to deep center that plated Milam for the last score of the night.
