Essner makes amends for error in ND's 4-3 win

Jacob Essner atoned for a costly sixth-inning error with a game-winning hit in the bottom of the seventh to lead Notre Dame to a 4-3 SEMO Conference win Monday over visiting New Madrid County Central.

Notre Dame (13-4) finished its conference schedule with a 7-3 mark.

Essner's two-out error in the sixth allowed the tying run to score. The Bulldogs scored three in the first to go up 3-0, but the Eagles scored one in the fourth and two in the sixth to tie the score.

Kirk Boeller struck out eight and walked none to pick up the complete-game victory. Essner had two hits for Notre Dame and Trey Glaus had two RBIs.
