The Glarner Knights did not go quietly, putting pressure on the Pointers with disciplined at-bats, aggressive baserunning and several big swings.
New Glarus found itself down 2-0 after the first inning, but the Knights answered in the third. Ethan Colstad came through with a run-scoring double that helped swing momentum, and Brock Roth added to the rally as New Glarus moved in front 3-2.
