Steinlage was the winning pitcher, needing just 88 pitches to get through six innings. He allowed three earned runs on six hits and one walk. Mark Kenney (senior, Fennimore, Wis.) made his first relief appearance since 2023, striking out two of the three batters he faced on 12 total pitches in the seventh.
