The Foxes scored five times in the bottom of the eighth inning for the win.

Jim Youngdahl tied the game with an RBI single. Frank Montgomery drew a bases loaded walk to force in the go-ahead run. Ed Saverine followed with a two-run single. Pete Ward's two-out, bunt single knocked in the final run of the game.

The Foxes are 8-8 and in 5th place in the Three-I League. BUT, they are only two games behind Burlington and Sioux City.
