KENOSHA, Wis. — Parkside outlasted Roosevelt 8–6 in an 11-inning battle Thursday afternoon at Historic Simmons Field, capped by a walk-off two-run home run from Jackson Lindquist.

The Rangers struck first in the opening inning when Josh Wicker delivered an RBI single to bring home Angel Rades for a 1–0 lead. Roosevelt responded in the fourth with a three-run frame, highlighted by Cooper Ohlson's two-RBI triple and a wild pitch that gave the Lakers a 3–1 advantage.

Parkside answered in the fifth, tying the game at 3–3 on Benjamin Loyd's two-run homer. The back-and-forth continued as Roosevelt regained a 4–3 lead in the seventh before Noah Goddard evened the score again with a solo home run in the bottom half.

Roosevelt appeared to take control in the ninth, scoring twice on bases-loaded walks to go up 6–4. But Parkside refused to fold. Loyd drove in a run with a double, and a passed ball brought home the tying run to force extra innings.

After both teams went scoreless in the 10th, Parkside's pitching held firm. Michael Merline (2-0) tossed two shutout innings in relief to earn the win.

In the bottom of the 11th, Wicker kept the inning alive with a two-out single before Lindquist launched a walk-off home run to left, sealing the 8–6 victory.

Loyd led Parkside offensively, going 3-for-5 with three RBIs, while Lindquist added two hits and the game-winning homer. Goddard also contributed with a home run and two hits.

Roosevelt was paced by Alejandro Muunoz, who collected four hits, and Quinn O'Bryan, who added three.

Parkside finished with 11 hits and no errors, while Roosevelt recorded 13 hits in the loss.
