Billy Esposito, who is tied for 3rd in the SBL in stolen bases with 5, came through for Iowa State with a run-scoring double in the bottom of the eighth. The right fielder went 2 for 5 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 3 RBI.

"Winning is seldom easy in this league," said Esposito.
