The senior righthander only allowed three hits, but he walked seven and beaned two en route to his first win of the summer. Sartell managed just one run in the first despite loading the bases with no out, and Koschak escpaed a bases-loaded one-out jam unscathed in the fifth.
With Ely up 4-1, Koschak gave up a run in the seventh and Sartell put runners at the corners with two outs. But Koschak stepped up and ended the game with his 10th strikeout.
Ely jumped on losing pitcher Austin Guggenberger in the bottom of the first, scoring three times, all with two outs. Koschak's double to the gap plated Riley Bernsdorf, and both Nick Mathews and Greg Helget followed with run-scoring hits.
Post 248 got a valuable insurance run in the sixth, on back-to-back two-out hits by Koschak and Mathews.
In other DQ Classic action, Deer River downed Hibbing 18-4 and Proctor 7-2, and Minnetonka blew out Hibbing 16-2.
