Blake Cavill crushed a two-run home run off of Larks starting pitcher Lake Hagen to give the Hot Tots a 3-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Grant Ross had the response for the Larks, hitting a line-drive three run home run down the right field line. Ricardo Aponte would drive in a run on a double in the 2nd inning, and Ross would drive in two more runs on a base hit to center field. Ross drove in five runs in the game. \u201cIt felt really good,\u201d said Ross. \u201cI\u2019ve had some up and downs early on this season. I\u2019ve had a lot of hard hit outs. It felt good to finally get some hits and help the team score some runs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hagen was brilliant for the Larks after stumbling in the first inning. He would not allow another run and would go on to pitch seven innings. Parker Aten would finish up the final two innings of the game on the mound for the Larks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe just keep picking away,\u201d said Larks manager Mark Weidemaier. \u201cWe\u2019ve come from behind, and did so twice in one game in Rochester. These guys no it\u2019s possible, you just have to play nine innings and see what happens.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Larks are now 5-6 in the Dakota Dust-Up Rivalry Series against the Minot Hot Tots. Tomorrow\u2019s matchup between the Hot Tots and the Larks is the final game between these two teams in 2025. First pitch is set for 5:05 p.m. CST at Corbett Field in Minot, North Dakota.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-four\"><h4 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:20;--minFontSize:20;line-height:var(--awb-typography1-line-height);\"><\/h4><\/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-28639","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) -
