Bryce Adams hit his second home run in as many nights, and Jake Shepski also hit a bomb for the MoonDogs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNathan Jones (2-0) got the nod as starter, and went 4 2\/3 innings, allowing just two runs while striking out seven.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tKevin Yarabinec (2-0) relieved Jones in the 5<sup>th<\/sup> and was able to get out of the inning with help from his defense. With two runners on and two out the Express got a single but were unable to get any runners in as centerfielder Marcus Pingleton was able to gun the runner out at the plate. Yarabinec was awarded the victory.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe victory completes the two game sweep of Eau Claire for the MoonDogs and third victory in as many days.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe MoonDogs will host the Willmar Stingers tomorrow night in the last night of a three game home stand, the &lsquo;Dogs will attempt to have a perfect 3-0 record for the home stand.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTickets are still available and can be purchased at the gate, in their office at 1221 Caledonia Street, or online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mankatomoondogs.com\/\">www.mankatomoondogs.com<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t###\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em>The Northwood&rsquo;s League is the proven leader in the development of elite college baseball players.
