The Express would score two additional runs thanks to a Daulton Varsho double to make the score 7-5, which would be the final.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMankato had taken an early lead in the game thanks to five fantastic innings from starter Grant Hamilton (2-0)&nbsp; who allowed just two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out eight. The game would be Hamilton&rsquo;s fourth straight appearance where he struck out eight hitters. Hamilton would get the no decision for this game.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMichael Gomez would pick up the win for Eau Claire, his first of the season. Victor Sanchez earned his fourth save of the year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMankato will take on the Rochester Honkers on Sunday at 6:05 PM at Franklin Rogers Park for Faith Night.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em>&ldquo;The Mankato MoonDogs are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League.
