Thomas Maher would break up the no-hitter with one out in the top of the 6th inning on a ground ball just over the third base bag. Maher would advance to third, and Samson Pugh would reach base on an infield single. With two outs, Pugh got himself into a rundown between first and second base, and Maher raced home from third base. Carson Luna\u2019s throw pulled Will Millard away from the plate, and Maher scored to give the Big Sticks a 1-0 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kobe Krenz got the start for the Big Sticks, and went 3.2 innings pitched, giving up just one hit and two walks before exiting the game with forearm tightness. Jake Fuller came into the game and was dominant, as he gave up just one hit over 3.1 innings pitched, striking out four batters. \u201cI was filling up the zone and trusting my defense that they would make the plays behind me,\u201d said Fuller.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gavyn Schlotterback and Seth Broadwell each pitched one inning out of the bullpen, as Broadwell picked up the save for the Big Sticks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lost in the action was Landon Waters\u2019 three-inning scoreless outing of the bullpen for the Larks. Waters has now thrown 18 innings without giving up an earned run this season, which is the most innings without an earned run by any pitcher in the Northwoods League.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the win, the Big Sticks improved to 15-10 in the second half of the season, 35-23 on the entire season, and they have moved back into the playoff picture. \u201cIt\u2019s something you have to do,\u201d said Big Sticks manager Kelby Coburn on the 1-0 victory. \u201cReally good pitching on both sides. We had to take advantage of a base-running opportunity, and we did.\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-28796","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) -
