Hartington then would explode offensively with six runs in the top of the frame to pull away and end up beating Loomis 11-3 in six innings. Hartington sent 11 runners to the plate in the top of the sixth and took advantage of four free passes and an error for the big inning. Loomis walked seven total batters, hit two batters, and committed two errors in the game.
