Once would have been good enough, but Jayme Langbehn did it twice. The Elk RIver freshman center fielder robbed two would-be Prior Lake home runs to lead Elks past Prior Lake 4-3 in extra innings.

Langbehn also scored the eventual game-winning run in the top of the eighth inning before saving the game in the bottom half.

Prior Lake scored three runs in the fifth inning to tie it 3-3 and eventually force the extra inning.
