The Mankato MoonDogs are proud to announce that first baseman Toby Hanson set a MoonDogs record last night with a hit in his twentieth consecutive game. The previous Mankato record was held by Matt Mann back in 2001.

Since joining the MoonDogs in mid-June, Hanson has hit safely in 26 of his 28 games, and reached base in all but one. His .443 batting average leads the Northwoods League and his 14 doubles are tied for second. Hanson will represent the MoonDogs in the Northwoods League All Star Game on Tuesday.

The Mankato MoonDogs are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League. The 23-year-old summer collegiate league is the largest organized baseball league in the world with 20 teams, drawing significantly more fans, in a friendly ballpark experience, than any league of its kind. A valuable training ground for coaches, umpires and front office staff, more than 170 former Northwoods League players have advanced to Major League Baseball, including two-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer (WAS), two-time World Series Champion Ben Zobrist (CHC) and MLB All-Stars Chris Sale (BOS), Jordan Zimmermann (DET), Curtis Granderson (NYM) and Lucas Duda (NYM). All league games are viewable live via the Northwoods League portal.
