Concordia-St. Paul (16-6, 5-2 NSIC) rallied to take an early 5-1 lead but couldn't hold off Winona State's (14-16, 7-6 NSIC) bats, as they hit four home runs to earn a 9-6 comeback victory over the Golden Bears Saturday afternoon in Winona, Minn.

Robert Dunlop walked and advanced to second on a wild pitch, moved to third on Galen Wetzell's groundout before scoring on a Schemmel RBI groundout to shortstop, giving the Bears a three-run inning and a 5-1 lead.

Reggie Stevens put the Warriors back within three in the bottom of the inning as he drilled a solo homer to right.

The Bears struggled to score the rest of the way, as they left seven runners on base, three of them on third and one on second.

Quarberg, Meier, Tony Boxwell, and Wetzell each recorded two hits for Concordia.
