Greenwood stranded the bases loaded in the second inning. However, he was unable to do so in the third inning. Jordan Kuhnau\u2019s fly ball dropped in left field for a two run double, and Brock Larsen then mashed a three run home run to give the Stingers a 5-1 lead. They would tack on another two runs the next inning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nash Rippen hit a towering two run home run to right center field in the 5th inning, which made it 7-3. The Larks bats were unable to produce any more runs the rest of the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI was fighting up there, I think I fouled off like four in a row,\u201d said Larsen. \u201cI was wearing my coaches\u2019 glasses cause I\u2019ve been struggling a little. I got a pitch middle, and I didn&#8217;t miss it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jackson Sobel, Isaac Morton, and Madduz Gast all went three innings on the mound for the Stingers. \u201cThat was the plan,\u201d said Stingers manager Nate Johnson. \u201cSome nights it works out great. All of our starters have been on short rest this week. We\u2019ve got to save the bullpen a little bit, and that\u2019s exactly what they did.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Larks\u2019 final game of the 2025 Northwoods League season is on Saturday, August 9th. First pitch is at 6:35 p.m. CST at Bismarck Municipal Ballpark.<\/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-28922","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) -
