Quintero gave up just two hits and one walk. \u201cI felt really good out there,\u201d said Quintero. \u201cIt was my last start, and I gave it my all. I\u2019m really happy with the outcome.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adam Trevino would come in for one scoreless inning of relief and Logan Spivey would throw to scoreless innings to close out the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the top of the first inning, Ryker Schow would work a walk. Schow would advance to second on a base hit, and got to third base on a passed ball. Larks starting pitcher Griffin Shearon then spiked a pitch which bounced over catcher Oliver Service, and Schow would come home to score.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Big Sticks scored their five runs over the span of five different innings. Their nine hits were all singles, and they worked eight walks as a team. They continued to stay aggressive on the basepaths, stealing six bases. \u201cWe manufactured some runs,\u201d said Big Sticks manager Kelly Coburn. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t our best offensive night at the plate, but it was enough.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Big Sticks improve to 17-11, but remain 4.5 games back of the Big Sticks in the Great Plains West division. The Big Sticks have six games remaining in the first half of the season. The Larks fell to 9-22, and are in 5th place in the Great Plains West division.<\/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-28533","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) -
