Jake Shepski would pound out three hits, but Mankato would be shut out on Tuesday night by a final score of 7-0.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tJordan Harms (1-1) started his second outing of the season off strong, allowing one hit over his first four innings of work on the mound. During that time the Mankato offense out-hit Willmar 7-1. Blake Stockert (1-1) navigated treacherous waters through those four innings, working out of jams in both the second and third innings with double plays while seeing the bases loaded by the MoonDogs on three different occasions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWillmar was able to capitalize in the fifth, with a breakout inning against Harms. Justin Tourner reached with a leadoff single, but would advance to third on a stolen base couple with a throwing error. Brandon Perez drove Tourner in two hitters later. The stingers would add two more later during the fifth when Danny Pardo reached on a single to center field making it 3-0 after five complete innings.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Stingers added another run in the sixth, and three more insurance runs in the seventh. All total Willmar would finish the game with seven runs on six hits, with one error in the field. Mankato closed out the set by being shut out for the first time this season, while stroking 10 hits but committing four costly errors.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHarms was saddled with the loss, while Stockert picked up his first win of the season. Jake Shepski had another great night at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a walk for the night. Overall in the two game set Shepski went 6-for-9 at the plate for Manakto.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe MoonDogs will be at home on Wednesday for a double header against the Rochester Honkers.
