In the bottom of the sixth, the Huskies began their rally with two outs and nobody on, eventually getting to state baseball and hockey player of the year in Wisconsin, Sam Stange, who launched a 400-foot home run to right-center to put Eau Claire North up 5-4 on the Cardinals, which would be the final score in this all-time classic.
