The 6-1 win propelled the MoonDogs into first place in the race for the second-half championship in the North Divison.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEddins had everything going for him on the mound against Waterloo. Seeing three hitters in each of his first four innings of work, the tall righty out of Nebraska took to the hill on Saturday trying to bounce back from his worst outing of the season. Eddins masterfully navigated Waterloo&#039;s lineup until the fifth, when Waterloo&#039;s Tyler Curtis struck a single through the right side of the infield on a hit-and-run to end Eddins&#039; run.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe MoonDogs&#039; starter would only let up one more hit during the outing, while walking a season-high four with three strikeouts. The performance by Reece Eddins was only bolstered with home runs by Jordan Washam and Chase Hamilton, who got Mankato out to a 2-0 lead after five innings.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThree runs would score for the MoonDogs in the eighth, with one more crossing in the ninth. Kenny Varnell (Fresno State) took the ninth inning, where the Bucks strung together three hits that brought home one run. The shutout was broken up, but Mankato got the win to improve their record to 10-5.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhile the MoonDogs took care of business in Iowa, they recieved a little help back in Minnesota. The Duluth Huskies up-ended the St. Cloud Rox 14-7, dropping the Rox to second place in the North Divison behind the MoonDogs. This marks the first time during the second half that Mankato has led the division.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMankato will be back in action tomorrow, as they take the field at 3:35 PM CDT for their final game of the regular season against the Waterloo Bucks. The team will have an off-day on Monday before returning to Franklin Rogers Park for a two-game home stand.
