It was never easy, but the Mankato MoonDogs opened up their four-game series against the
\nBismarck Larks on a good note, defeating the Larks by a score of 17-13 at Bismarck Municipal
\nStadium on Monday night.<\/p>\n

The MoonDogs got the scoreboard jumping early. Brendan Hord<\/a> (Evansville lined an RBI single
\nin the first innings, making the score 1-0. That is not the last time you\u2019d hear from Hord.<\/p>\n

Mankato then blew the game wide open in the second inning, scoring six runs. Dustin Crenshaw
\n(Grand Canyon) brought in a run on a fielder\u2019s choice, and then two batters Kai Roberts<\/a> Utah
\nmade it 3-0 on a bases-loaded walk. Hord then ripped a two-run single and then Ryan Nicholson<\/a>
\n(Cincinnati) smoked a two-run double to make it 7-0 after just three half-innings.<\/p>\n

The Larks did answer, scoring three runs in the fourth inning against starting pitcher John<\/a>
\nLundgren (Illinois). Lundgren would pitch solidly, going 5 and a third innings, allowing four
\nearned runs while striking out a season-high ten batters.<\/p>\n

Mankato increased their lead to 9-3 in the sixth inning, as Max Williams<\/a> (Florida State) smacked
\na two-run double to make the score 9-3. Bismarck answered with two of their own in the bottom
\nof the inning, cutting the lead to four once again.<\/p>\n

In the seventh, Hord came back into play. The backstop ripped a bases-clearing three-run double
\nto make the score 12-5. Hord collected three hits and two walks on the night, while driving in
\nsix.<\/p>\n

However, the Larks struck right back against the Mankato bullpen. They scored six runs in the
\nbottom of the seventh inning, highlighted by a three-run home run to make the deficit just one.<\/p>\n

Mankato would add an insurance run in the eighth inning, but a two-run home run by Bismarck
\nwould tie the game for the first time since the top of the first inning, and the game was knotted at
\n13.<\/p>\n

However, the MoonDogs would take the lead right back in the ninth, scoring on a wild pitch, a
\ntwo-run single by James Agabedis<\/a> (Tulane) and an RBI single by Crenshaw. Bismarck got two
\non in the bottom of the ninth, but would strand the tying run in the on-deck circle as Mitch<\/a>
\nCasperson (Gustavus Adolphus) would strike out the final batter of the game.<\/p>\n

With the win, Mankato improved to 11-10 while Bismarck fell to 9-12. The team\u2019s play a
\ndoubleheader Tuesday, with game one starting at 9:05 a.m. and game two at 6:35 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
