Williston quickly loaded the bases with no outs, but Jacob Mehl came up big with a defensive play, when he snagged a line drive to first base, and then tagged the runner retreating to first for a double-play. With momentum back on his side, Will Jordan then struck out the next batter to get out of the jam.
