The Wesmen starter Josh Loewen, in his final game at the university level, was the losing pitcher on record. However, in 5.2 innings of work, he allowed five runs on 11 hits and didn’t look out of place against a professional ball club.
Despite the outcome Wesmen head coach Mike Krykewich had nothing but good things to say about his team's performance. " The game was a great experience for our players. I am so proud of the effort the entire team put forward this evening. Josh Loewen was dynamite on the mound".
