They would tack on another run in the 5th, as Adrian Beltre Jr. got jammed, but the baseball fell perfectly on the right field line, resulting in an RBI double.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the 6th inning, the MoonDogs rallied with two outs. With the bases loaded, Beltre Jr., Collin Jennings, and Caleb Koskie strung together three straight hits to drive in four runs, giving the MoonDogs a 6-0 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every player in the MoonDogs starting lineup had at least one hit, as the team combined for seven runs on 15 hits. \u201cIt was awesome,\u201d said MoonDogs manager Danny Kneeland. \u201cWe talked about coming into tonight with a plan, calming down, having guys see pitch-to-pitch, and I think the guys did a really good job of that tonight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tyler Foster got the start for the MoonDogs, and he was terrific. Foster pitched six innings of scoreless baseball, giving up just three hits in the process. \u201cI wanted to pound the zone, get ahead in the count, and get as many outs as I could,\u201d said Foster. \u201cMy biggest thing is just to compete and throw strikes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the win, the MoonDogs improve to 16-10 for the second half of the season, and the Larks fell to 7-20 following their seventh consecutive loss.<\/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-28876","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) -
