The Mankato MoonDogs couldn&#039;t get the offense going on Sunday night at Carson Park as they dropped the season finale by a score of 7-1 but were able to win the north division second half title anyway as the Waterloo Bucks also lost on Sunday night.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tJames McMahon got the start for Mankato and was able to keep the MoonDogs in the ballgame giving up four earned runs through five innings. The MoonDogs weren&#039;t able to provide any run support for their pitching staff though, managing just five hits on the night.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Express didn&#039;t have the big offensive inning that is the norm in the Northwoods League but they did find a way to get runners on base in almost every inning, scoring runs in the first, third, fifth, sixth, and seventh innings, totaling fifteen hits.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDespite the loss, the MoonDogs had an impressive last week of the season. Seven games ago they were three and a half games behind the first place Waterloo Bucks and after racking up six straight victories, found themselves on top of the north division needing either a win or a Bucks&#039; loss to clinch a playoff spot.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe MoonDogs ended the regular season (21-15) in the second half and held a tiebreaker over the Duluth Huskies and the Willmar Stingers who ended tied with Mankato in the standings. Overall the MoonDogs finished (42-30).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Northwoods League first round playoff series begins tomorrow and the MoonDogs will have the chance to play at Franklin Rogers Park for game one in Mankato at 7:05 on Monday.
