Waterloo, Iowa —\u00a0<\/b>The Mankato MoonDogs picked it up in the field on Tuesday night at Waterloo but lost their offensive spark. They did enough in the ninth to force extras, but ultimately fell, 5-1, after a grand slam walk-off home run.<\/p>\n

Bucks\u2019 first baseman,\u00a0Peyton Williams<\/b>, blasted the walk-off winner over the right field wall with the bases loaded. It ended the game in a 5-1 final, extending Mankato\u2019s losing streak to three games and a 1-9 record.<\/p>\n

It was a pitcher\u2019s duel Tuesday night in Waterloo, Iowa. Both starters went six complete and worked into the seventh with shutout outings respectively. It took until the eighth for a run to actually go up on the board at Riverfront Stadium.<\/b><\/p>\n

A\u00a0Patrick Ferguson\u00a0<\/b>sacrifice fly to center brought in\u00a0Jalen Smith<\/b>\u00a0to score the Bucks\u2019\u00a0\u00a0first run, it put them up 1-0 in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Michael Curialle\u00a0<\/b>grounded out to short in the top of the ninth, but it was good enough to score\u00a0Dylan Phillips<\/b>\u00a0and even it up, 1-1.\u00a0Keon Taylor\u00a0<\/b>held Waterloo off with the bases loaded and a chance to win it in the bottom half. After that, free baseball was played at Riverfront Stadium.<\/p>\n

Taylor was back out for the 10th frame with a similar but fatal fate. The bases loaded up with Bucks again. But before Taylor could escape the jam a second time, Williams took him deep to right for the 5-1 walk-off win.<\/p>\n

The box score saw the MoonDogs lose the hit battle 6-5 while prevailing in the field with only an error to the Bucks\u2019 two.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Blake Corsentino<\/b>\u00a0started on the mound for the Bucks. He threw 6.1 innings of scoreless baseball in his indecisive outing. He allowed just a pair of hits, walked one and struck out five. Out of the pen,\u00a0Gavin Lizik<\/b>\u00a0got the win for getting the Bucks out of a jam in the 10th with a 6-4-3 double play.<\/p>\n

MoonDogs starter,\u00a0Shane Gray<\/b>, went 6.2 innings in his third start of the season. Allowing four hits and a walk, Gray struck out six Bucks hitters. He garnered a no decision on Tuesday night. Taylor held the loss after allowing the slam in the 10th. He pitched 1.2 innings and allowed just the lone hit but walked three.<\/p>\n
