Parker Janske started the game for Anoka-Ramsey but did not earn a decision in throwing six innings and scattering eight hits.  Joe Harrington earned the win with one inning of work allowing no runs and no hits.

"This was a great day for our program," said head coach Jason Saulsbury.  "We had the opportunity to compete against a very strong team in Rainy River.  They have a lot of talent on that squad.  Even though things did not go how we wanted it the first game, I could not be happier with how things ended with the back half of the double header with a walk-off win.  Ryan Lust came up huge for us with driving in that winning run.  Our guys fought extremely hard all day long and deserved that win.  It was just a great experience for our program to play here."
