Milton (12-6, 9-3 WBL) put the game away in the sixth as Danowsky hit a leadoff double, and it was followed by Fannick's RBI double and then by Adames' two-run double.
Robert Kerstetter, who got the complete-game win for Milton by striking out eight and walking three, got his team on the board in the first with a two-run single.
