 <\/p>\n

From there on out, the MoonDogs would only keep one inning scoreless, being the bottom of the seventh. Their bats were coming around tonight as they scored in every other inning of play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wills Maginnis (Georgia State) would come around to score on a Nico Libed (San Diego) RBI single. Viskovich would step up to the plate and hit a sac fly, scoring Adrian Beltre Jr. (San Diego). 3-0 MoonDogs!<\/span><\/p>\n

Innings 4, 5, and 6 were all single-run innings. Saunders would hit an RBI single, scoring Caleb Koskie (Indiana University), in the fourth. Beltre Jr. would come around to score due to a Big Sticks walk, in the bottom of the fifth. In the sixth, Avalos would get around the bases to score! 8-1 MoonDogs!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The bottom of the eighth was explosive for the MoonDogs as they scored 5 runs.

Sean Griggs (University of Alabama) would get hit by a pitch, bringing in Milford to score.

 <\/p>\n

Your only reliever for the MoonDogs tonight was Sam Stockman (University of Utah). Stockman would record 3 innings of work and get the save. He would face 11 batters and have 3 strikeouts!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
