Chippewa Falls(18-10-1) grabbed the early lead on Cole Perlberg's three-run homer, his fourth of the year, in the top of the first, but Hudson(21-6) bounced back in the bottom of the first with three runs of their own, capitalizing on three Sam Bresina walks to tie the game.
The Cards called on Brady Smith to pitch in the bottom of the 2nd. After retiring the first two hitters the Raiders' Logan Hagman homered after a Sam Abrahamson single providing Hudson with all the offense they'd need for the win, though they scored three more runs that inning going up 8-3. Later the Raiders added a run in the 5th and closed out the game with four runs in the 6th.

A two-run homer from senior SS, Cole Perlberg, with two out in the bottom of the first was all Brady Smith and the Cards(18-9-1) needed to defeat Menomonie, 9-1, in Thursday's Regional Final at Gannon Field. The Cards added two more runs in the third on a Gavin Thompson single and five more in the fourth, all coming with two outs.
Smith, the junior, retired the first seven Mustangs in order and struck out seven while giving up zero walks in gaining the complete game win.
