Mankato, Minn. —\u00a0<\/b>The Mankato MoonDogs pitching staff was brilliant in a 1-0 victory over the St. Cloud Rox, Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It took until the sixth for a run to score, but the MoonDogs got on the board first when\u00a0Adam LaRock<\/b>\u00a0flew out to center deep enough for\u00a0Evan Berkey<\/b>\u00a0to score. The Dogs held a 1-0 advantage after the sixth.<\/p>\n

In the ninth,\u00a0Dylan Phillips<\/b>\u00a0proved he is a two-way threat for the MoonDogs when he moved to the hill to close out the game. As a result, Phillips secured his first save of the season and the MoonDogs won 1-0 with four different members of Mankato\u2019s pitching staff helping in the combined shutout.<\/p>\n

Mankato won the hit battle, 7-5, and had the game\u2019s only error. In his final game with the MoonDogs of 2020, Berkey had the only multi-hit showing for the MoonDogs, going 2-4 with the game\u2019s only run scored.<\/p>\n

AJ Wood<\/b>\u00a0was the MoonDogs starting arm, Tuesday. Wood pitched four frames of scoreless baseball as part of his third undecisive outing. He gave up two hits and struck out a pair. MoonDogs reliever,\u00a0Jakob Meyer (2-0)\u00a0<\/b>secured the win after he came in for the fifth and worked into the seventh. He rounded out his showing going 2.1 innings to preserve the shutout.\u00a0\u00a0Meyer gave up two hits, walked one and struck out two others.\u00a0Tyler Eckberg\u00a0<\/b>took his turn closing out the seventh with just one pitch in relief of Meyer. Then, he worked a 1-2-3 eighth with one strikeout. Phillips moved to the mound in pursuit of his first save in the ninth. The MoonDogs two-way threat struck out two.<\/p>\n
