The next inning, Craig came to the plate with the bases loaded, and went yard as the Stingers took a 7-0 lead. \u201cI was just looking for a good pitch to hit, I got a curveball, and I connected,\u201d said Craig.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Craig had hit a grand slam in the 9th inning of the first game of the series. All in all, Craig combined for 10 of the 15 RBIs that the Stingers had against the Larks this series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Larks tried to rally in the bottom of the 7th inning. Miles Tenscher gave up two walks and hit three batters without recording an out. However, Sam Tyrpa would give up just one additional run, as the Larks were held to four runs in the inning, which made it 11-5. That would be the final score.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Stingers had lost the first game of the series 14-4. \u201cIt\u2019s great to come back after a tough loss,\u201d said Stingers manager Nate Johnson. \u201cBut we need to be more consistent. We can\u2019t just give up 14 runs one night, then score 11 the next.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Stingers are now 14-13, and the Larks are 9-21 on the season. The Stingers return home to take on the Waterloo Bucks. The Bismarck Larks remain at home to face the Badlands Big Sticks.<\/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-28520","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) -
