Caleb Wulf and Corey Nunez had back-to-back extra base hits to right center field. Ben Patton, the Larks&#8217; right fielder, dropped a fly ball which brought in the third run of the inning. Josey Williamson would then tack on one more run with a double down the left field line to give the MoonDogs a 4-0 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tate Marland got the start for the MoonDogs. Marland allowed just one run on seven hits in five innings on the mound. \u201cI was trying to just put us in a good spot for this playoff run,\u201d said Marland. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a good squad, we\u2019re looking to make a run, and I think we did a good job tonight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The MoonDogs contributed to receive contributions from all over the lineup. Seven of their nine players in the starting lineup had at least one base hit, and all nine starters reached base in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Larks tallied ten hits on the evening, but were only able to scrap together two runs. All in all, the Larks left nine runners on base throughout the game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The MoonDogs need to win one of two games against the St. Cloud Rox to clinch a spot in the playoffs. \u201cThey\u2019re one of the best teams in the league,\u201d said MoonDogs Manager Danny Kneeland. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to get after it, but also stay within ourselves, and keep doing what we\u2019ve been doing the last couple of weeks.\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-28917","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) -
