Quinton Cooks followed up his go-ahead two-run home run on Monday with a solo home run in the second inning. Matthew Cormier would hit two solo home runs, the second of which extended the Express lead to 5-3 in the 9th inning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the 5th, the Larks tied the game at two runs a piece on Carter Aarts\u2019 two run double to left center field. Jamie Mullin would hit his second home run of the season for the Larks, which cut the deficit to 4-3 in the bottom of the 6th inning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the bottom of the 9th, the Larks would rally with two men out. Christian Bernardini, Jayder Raifstanger, and Sonnier Moses would all single to bring in a run, and Erick Dessens was hit by a pitch. That loaded the bases for Sydney Ward with two outs, and the Larks down by a run. Ward would strikeout looking to end the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kenneth Fistler threw the final three innings for the Express. He got through the 7th and 8th innings throwing a total of just eight pitches before running into trouble in the 9th. Fistler\u2019s work helps conserve an Express bullpen for game two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Braxton Greenburg is set to start game two for the Larks, and it will be Cohen Gomez on the bump for the Express. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m. CST on Tuesday at Bismarck Municipal Ballpark.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
