Road Win Lifts Minnesota to 2-1 Lead in R2
Minnesota Lucky Rodents manager Mason Cartwright knew it was a gamble to give the start to a rookie. It was a good gamble to take.

Pitching in front of a hostile crowd, 19-year-old right-hander Keith Russell silenced the host Oregon State Dambusters at Ballpark of Oregon State today. The Lucky Rodents shut out the Dambusters by a final score of 4-0, to give the Lucky Rodents a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-7 Super Regionals.

Minnesota relied on the hitting of Billy Brooks to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put the Lucky Rodents on top, 2-0. For the game, Brooks had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," Minnesota manager Mason Cartwright told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Ballpark of Oregon State in Corvallis.
