La Crosse loaded the bases on 3 singles in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> inning, but a double play got Lesley out of the inning.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Lars Nootbaar <\/strong>(USC) got the Loggers offense going with a solo home run with two outs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMankato responded in the 5<sup>th<\/sup> by loading the bases with 3 singles to start the inning. <strong>Alvaro Rubalcaba <\/strong>(Cal State Northfield) doubled, clearing the bases and giving the MoonDogs their first lead of the game. <strong>Bryce Adams <\/strong>(LSU) singled three batters later extending the lead to 4-1.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tA solo home run by <strong>Mason McCoy <\/strong>(Iowa) in the top of the 6<sup>th<\/sup> cut the MoonDogs&rsquo; to two runs. &nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMankato loaded the bases again for the second consecutive inning on a walk and two hit batters. <strong>Brock Rude <\/strong>relieved Perez and struck out a batter. <strong>Jared Liebelt <\/strong>(Waubonese CC) came into pitch after the strikeout, but could not get out of the inning with more damage. <strong>David Metzgar <\/strong>(Cal State Bakersfield) doubled, scoring two more runs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Cesar Salazar <\/strong>(Arizona) led the 7<sup>th<\/sup> inning off with another solo home run, cutting the Mankato lead to 6-3.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAfter the MoonDogs got the run back in their half of the 7<sup>th<\/sup>, the Loggers&rsquo; offense exploded in the 8<sup>th<\/sup>. <strong>Griffin Conine <\/strong>(Duke) led off the inning with his league-leading 13<sup>th<\/sup> home run of the season. <strong>Grant Fennell <\/strong>(Nevada) walked and scored with two outs on a single by <strong>Cesar Salazar<\/strong>. <strong>Justin Wylie <\/strong>(San Diego State) tied the game with a 2-run home run.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe MoonDogs did not let the game stay tied for long. They put together 6 runs on 6 hits to take a commanding 13-7 lead.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Loggers fought back in their final inning. After an error by the Mankato first baseman allowed <strong>Gavin Johns <\/strong>(UCLA) to advance to 1<sup>st<\/sup> to lead off the game. <strong>Mason McCoy <\/strong>did the most he could with his second home run of the game, a 2-run shot that brought the Mankato lead to four.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThat made it an incredible six home runs for the game, breaking the team record for most in a game with the Loggers&rsquo; second ever game on June 4th, 2003 versus the Alexandria Beetles.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLa Crosse loaded the bases, but could not complete the comeback, as the game went final.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLa Crosse fell to 15-11 in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> half (32-30 overall). Mankato moved up to 18-9 in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> half (40-22 overall). Willmar defeated Duluth tonight, retaking a 1.5 game over the Loggers for the final wild card spot. La Crosse stays in Mankato for another night.
