ARDEN HILLS, Minn. – Sophomore
Justin Winterfeldt launched a pair of homers to left as his four-RBI day helped Bethel take the rubber game of the series, 11-2.
Winterfeld sent a three-run no doubter over the left field fence in the fourth breaking a 1-1 tie.
Nick Wibben got in on the party at home plate getting ahold of a 3-2 pitch that carried its way over the left field fence making it 6-1.
After Concordia got a run back in the sixth, Winterfeldt gave it right back with a leadoff shot this time to left-center. That bomb sparked a four-run sixth for the Royals before tallying another in the seventh.
Along with Winterfeldt,
Nick Wibben and
Ty Koehn each had multi-hit days while driving in a run.
Matthew Bohlke (5-1) tossed a solid six innings of work giving up two runs on five hits and striking out five. He got shutout relief work from
Ty Koehn in the seventh and eighth while
Brett Carlson closed out the ninth.
The Royals will make the trek on down to Winona Thursday taking on Saint Mary's in a doubleheader beginning at 2:30 p.m.
