In what will go down as one of the most stunning comebacks in team history, the Brewers rallied to score 6 runs in the bottom of the 9th inning to overcome a 7-2 deficit. Not only did the Brewers manage to erase the deficit, they did with it with 2 outs, and 2 strikes...
The wheels came off for the Miners, who held a comfortable lead the entire game. Miners starting pitcher Shane Bushland, coming off a good senior season for the Bison, shut down the hot Brewer bats through 7 innings.

The area's newest amateur club made its debut on Wednesday night against the Brewers in opening action of the West Central League. Sporting brand-spankin-new uni's, the Expos looked pretty sharp and gave the Brewers a test. Gabe Shockman returned from Morningside College to take the mound for the Brew Crew and pitched well. A 2-out, 2-run bloop single in the 5th inning gave the Expos a temporary lead. The Brewers regained the lead with Jeremy Peschel's 2-run double in the 8th inning. Mike Peschel struck out 5 in 3 innings of relief to shut down any potential Expos threat. Game Summary/ Box Score
