With the Big Sticks leading 3-2, Ricardo Aponte broke up the no-hitter on a double down the left field line. Grant Ross\u2019 ground ball to the right side of the infield advanced Aponte 90 feet, and Cristian Bernardini drove in Aponte as the Larks forced extra innings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the 10th inning, Connor Meidroth\u2019s single to center field advanced Maddox Mcdonald to 3rd base. Mcdonald would score on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Big Sticks All-Star Connor Massimini.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dasan Harris was the ghost runner on second base for the Larks in the bottom of the 10th. After Kingston Hangartner struck out, Trevian Martinez hit a ground ball to the shortstop, Connor Meidroth. With Harris running on contact, Meidroth easily threw out Harris at third. Big Sticks relief pitcher Adam Trevino struck out Dean Ormonde looking to end the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maddox McDonald drove in three runs on two hits in the game. McDonald totaled 6 RBIs on the series against the Larks. \u201cI was seeing the spinner a lot, I was able to just stay within my approach, and put the ball in play with runners in scoring position,\u201d said McDonald.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the win, the Big Sticks have clinched the Railroad to Roosevelt trophy. The trophy is given to the winner of the regular season series between the Larks and the Big Sticks. \u201cIt means a lot to the people involved,\u201d said Big Sticks manager Kelby Coburn. \u201cPart of the deal when we took the job was being really good within the state, and this was a piece of that puzzle. It means a lot to the community so I\u2019m happy we can give back.\u201d<\/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-28763","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) -
