Post 15 has now won 33 games this season, tied for the third most wins of any team still remaining.
Harrisburg (Post 45) 12, Renner (Post 307) 3
Renner jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but six runs in the bottom of the second was enough to propel Harrisburg to a dominant 12-3 win.
With two runners on in the home half of the second, Noah Rutten crushed a three-run home run to left field to give Post 45 a one-run lead. Just three batters later, Nick Riley, an Ellsworth Community College commit, hit the second three-run home run of the inning to the same exact spot. Harrisburg scored six in the second, two in the third, and one in the fourth on their way to a nine-run victory.
