Tony Lira\u2019s rbi double in the 6th inning made it 5-0 Moondogs.<\/p>\n<p>The Larks would fight back in the late innings. A five-hit rally in the bottom of the 6th inning would bring in two runs before a base-running blunder would end the inning.<\/p>\n<p>Then, in the bottom of the 8th inning, Logan Feeney, who was pitching for the Moondogs, bobbled a ground ball back to the mound, and made an errant throw to first base, allowing a run to score. Later that inning, Ian Culver walked Owen Laessig with the bases loaded as the Larks cut the deficit to one run. Sydney Ward would pop up to first base to end the inning.<\/p>\n<p>In the 9th inning, the Moondogs would blow the game wide open. Three walks, a hit by pitch, and an error had already brought in two runs, and the bases were loaded for Connor Cuff. Cuff hit a line drive into the gap in right center field for a bases clearing triple. The Moondogs totaled six runs in the inning, and would go on to win 11-4. \u201cI was just trying to get a good pitch that I could drive and just get a couple more insurance runs,\u201d said Cuff.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the Rox falling to the Stingers, the Moondogs are all alone in first place in the Great Plains West Division. The Stingers, at 11-8, are in second place due to a lower winning percentage. \u201cWe talked about getting to the second half and turning the page,\u201d said Moondogs manager Danny Kneeland. \u201cThese guys have done a really good job of that.\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-28768","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) -
