Whetstone would later score on a single by Garrett Isch (2013). Brownsburg would get three more in the third off a pair of homers by Purdue commit Isaac Sampen and Oliger.  Avon’s lone run came in the third on a wild pitch to score Khristian Reynolds (2014).  Brownsburg got one more runin the sixth making the score 7-1 and that is how it stay.
