GAME HIGHLIGHTS

• The Timberwolves came right back with a pair of runs in the third, starting with a Cole Brooks RBI single.
• Rhett Evans followed with an RBI double to make the score 6-3.
• DU came right back once again, however, matching Northwood with two runs in the bottom of the third to get the lead back to five at 8-3.
