Through the first four and a half innings on a beautiful Tuesday night at Casper, the Macks (7-5, 3-5 Western Cloverbelt Conference) battled the Beavers (2-8, 2-7 Large Dairyland Conference), with neither team able to pull away.
The floodgates opened in the bottom of the fifth, however, as McDonell plated 10 runs while sending 15 batters to the plate, cruising to their second run-rule victory in as many nights.
Senior Grant Smiskey had a huge day at the plate, including a pair of triples, and drove in three runs. Fellow senior David Andersen also collected three hits on the night, while junior Karson Galvez came to the mound in a relief appearance and ate up innings for the Macks, allowing just a single run.
