DE PERE, Wis. – The Edgewood College Eagles baseball squad continued their marathon of a week Wednesday.

After falling just short in a 9-8 game one, the Eagles (19-16, 11-9 NACC) found themselves back in the win column with a 6-3 victory over the Green Knights (11-25, 5-15) in game two.

GAME ONE: ST. NORBERT 9, EDGEWOOD COLLEGE 8

After the Green Knights scored two off a pair of singles in the top of the second, the Eagles claimed the lead in the third inning.
