Top of second inning
Oscar Sigala, who had a grand slam in the win over Mesa State, adds a solo poke over the right-field wall for 1-0.
Bottom third
The Huskies manufacture a two-our run when Nate Hammes' chopper bounced of Cowboys shortstop Kyle Gutchewsky couldn't glove. Jordan Smith had an RBI single, then Nate Hammes' grounder up the middle went off Cowboys shortstop Kyle Gutchewsky's glove to let Joey Benke score for 2-1.
Bottom fourth
St. Cloud State continues to get to Wischmann. Steve Rindelaub's single scores Tyler Horning.
Phil Imolte's sacrifice scored another run. Wischmann needs one out to minimize the damage, but no.
Travis Cariveau singles in a run. Joey Benke hits a two-run homer for 7-1 before Wischmann gets out of the inning.
Top fifth.
The inning starts off well with a Gutchewsky single and Phillip Rodriguez is hit by a pitch, as is Thomas DeAngelis to load the bases. But as the Cowboys' luck is with the Huskies, Christian Garcia lines to short and Rodriguez is doubled off. Then St. Cloud State starter Shawn Riesgraf unravels. He hits David Bustillos and then bounces three of four intentional walk pitches to Jason Carr for a run. Then Danny Brown walks on four pitches to push across another run. New pitcher Ryan Schwenke hits Brad Morgan for another run. 7-4. Sigala strikes out to end the inning.
Bottom of sixth
Again, Wischmann can't get the job done and Tyler Shaddy, the closer, is called in with the score 8-4. Benke doubles to put runners on second and third, then Jordan Smith hammers a triple to right center for 10-4. Horning's sacrifice bunt scores smith for 11-4, then all hell breaks loose.
On Rindlaub's groundout to second, he collides with Cowboys first baseman Jason Carr. Words are exchanged and the umpires step in to prevent any escalation.
After a brief conference, Carr is ejected, and Highlands head coach Steve Jones is livid. Eventually he is thrown out as well, and he tries to rally his troops.
Top eighth
It takes a while for the spark to set, but it starts with a Garcia single, then Bustillos is hit by a Jamie Kissell pitch. Brown sends one to the deepest part of center field but it is off the wall. Two runs score and he then scores on Morgan's infield hit for 11-8.
Final
St. Cloud State 12, New Mexico Highlands 8
The Cowboys got nothing going in the ninth, and the Huskies advance to championship Sunday to face Minnesota State.
New Mexico Highlands ends the season at 41-13.

Figured since I am at the NCAA Division II Central Region Baseball Tournament ...
I could give those few interested fans an update, which I will do periodically today.
We are in the top of the fourth inning and New Mexico Highlands finds itself up on Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference rival Mesa State 5-0. Third baseman Oscar Sigala, who was 1-for-8 in the first two games of the regional, blasted a grand slam in the first inning to account for the bulk of the runs.
Right-handed pitcher Danny Brown has pitched well so far, allowing just three hits. He also is getting support from his defense, which has turned three double plays so far in the game.
Brown just gave up his fourth hit, an RBI single Chase Moore, as the Mavericks cut the margin to 5-1 but he averts further trouble.
Bottom of fourth
Highlands responds with a run on Thomas DeAngelis' double into the right-field corner, scoring Scott Heath from second for 6-1.
Top of sixth
The Cowboys score twice in the fifth, thanks to Kyle Gutchewsky's two-run single, but Brown can't make it through the sixth because of injury. Derek Grieve relieves him with one out in the sixth and the Mavs putting runners at first and third.
Exit Brown, enter the Mavs offense.
Grieves third pitch to JOhn Schmidtbauer is deposited over the center field wall for a three-run home run for 8-5. Peter Arakawa then bunts and Grieve throws the ball into right field to put him on second.
Top of seventh
NMHU comes right back, powered by Jason Carr's towering three-run home run that took forever to clear the center field fence. That puts the Cowboys in good position again, leading 11-5.
Bottom of eighth
Mesa State isn't quite dead yet. The Mavs score three in the eighth off of Grieve, with Brett Bigbur finally getting his first hit of the day - a two-run double to make it 11-8.
NMHU 11, Mesa State 8
The Cowboys keep their season alive, as closer Tyler Shaddy shuts the door on the Mavs with a 1-2-3 ninth. Now comes the rematch with St. Cloud State, which disposed of Highlands 11-2 on Thursday.
Game time is about 35 minutes away ...

When you're 22 years old ...
Make sure you do a better job of faking that you're 16. This means you, Guerdwich Montimere. The 22 year old, who played basketball at Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., tried for a second prep career in Odessa, Texas, as "Jerry Joseph."
He got to his sophomore year at Odessa Permian before the gig was up. On Tuesday, Joseph/Montimere admitted his rouge and was arrested. He can thank his appearance at an AAU basketball camp with the Albuquerque-based New Mexico Force team for blowing his cover. That's where his former AAU coach spotted him.
You can read the rest here from the Odessa American, which broke the story last week.
