Ethan Kleinheider (Rockhurst) scored the game-winning run in the top of the 11th when he came across the plate on a passed ball. The Larks were unable to respond in the bottom of the frame, as they were retired in order, stranding the tying run at third base.

Jake Snyder (Creighton) picked up his first win of the season after throwing one inning, allowing two runs on two hits.

Noah Fisher (Northern Kentucky) was 1-4 at the plate, with two RBI of his own. The Larks pitching staff had some good outings, led by Ryan Bourassa (Bismarck State College), who threw three and two-thirds of an inning, allowing no runs on just one hit while recording five strikeouts.

The Bull Moose will look to win their second game of the season on Tuesday night when they take on the Mandan Flickertails. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at Bismarck Municipal Ballpark.
