Mankato, MN – The Mankato MoonDogs (5-6, 23-24) would win another wild one at Franklin Rogers Park Sunday night, against the Alexandria Blue Anchors (7-5, 19-28) as they would walk off for a third time this week and win by a score of 7-6, in front of a crowd of 1,088 fans.

The Blue Anchors would catch lightning in a bottle as they would score three runs in the top of the ninth but the MoonDogs would answer back in the bottom. Kyle Weston would step in with the bases leaded in the bottom of the ninth and he would hit a deep fly to left center that would bring in the two winning runs.

MoonDogs starter Brett Clark (4-0) would keep the game close as he worked six complete innings, allowing just three runs while scattering eight hits. He also struck out three Blue Anchors on the night.

Graylon Brown (1-2), Blue Anchors starter, was an almost carbon copy of Clark as he went six innings allowing two runs, eight hits, while striking out three.
