New Glarus nearly rode another strong pitching performance to victory Saturday afternoon before Dodgeville scratched across three late runs to escape with a 3-1 win over the Glarner Knights in a tightly played pitchers duel.

The Knights carried a 1-0 lead into the seventh inning and looked poised to close out a gritty home victory behind starter Ethan Colstad, who delivered one of his strongest outings of the season against a disciplined Dodgeville lineup.
