The Dutchmen’s season ended with a 4-3 loss to Foley in the Section 6AA playbacks in St. Cloud. Foley had taken a 3-0 lead in the third inning. While it executed bunts well that inning, it also had a triple from Andy Klucas.

The Dutchmen rallied for two runs in the third inning. Tyler Moscho started the rally with a single. Walks to Hunter Rademacher and Colton Meyer loaded the bases. Tyler Braegelmann pitched the first six innings, the singled in two runs.  Braegelmann’s two-out RBI double in the fifth scored Meyer to tie the game.
Foley regained the lead in the sixth, again using a bunt to push across the run. Falcon relief pitcher Alex Dietl stifled any rally attempts by retiring all seven batters he faced.
