Eau Claire, WI \u2013 The Mankato MoonDogs bested the Eau Claire Express 9-0 Friday night, taking six of eight against Eau Claire in the season series.<\/p>\n

The MoonDogs plated a run on a CJ Huntley (Indiana State) solo homerun in the second, giving starter Nathan Hickey (Tarleton State) all the support he would need.<\/p>\n

Hickey carried a no hitter into the seventh inning, allowing a single with no one out in the frame to end the bid. Hickey registered his fifth win of the summer, allowing the lone hit while striking out eight.<\/p>\n

Mankato scored two more in the sixth after an error brought home a pair. Kenton Crews (Evansville) put the game out of reach in the eighth, smacking a grand slam to give the MoonDogs a commanding nine run lead.<\/p>\n

Garrett Mitchell (UCLA) extended his hitting streak to 14 games, driving in one while stealing two bases.<\/p>\n

Ryan Duffy (Minnesota) and Matt Arens (Cal Poly) relieved Hickey and finished the game, throwing two perfect innings.<\/p>\n

Mankato advances to the playoffs with a win Saturday or a Willmar Stingers win over the Rochester Honkers.<\/p>\n

The MoonDogs play host to the La Crosse Loggers Saturday for the penultimate game of the regular season. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 PM.<\/p>\n
