The 5-2 victory kicked off a new series against the Wausau Ignite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It wasn\u2019t the Honeybees who took the early lead though. Wausau announced their arrival with a two-run first inning. A wild pitch and RBI double put the Ignite in front.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Minot was quick to answer. Sydney Farmer got a base hit that scored Trinity Gregg and cut the deficit in half. Fast forward to the second inning, Makenna Alexander batted in the tying run on a double to left field. The next batter, Carly Cummings, brought Alexander across home plate to give the Bees a 3-2 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The score would hold for a while as Ashleigh Heiderscheit and Riley Stiles each tossed consecutive scoreless innings. Heiderscheit was taken out of the game in the fifth inning and Jackie Albrecht came in as the closer. Albrecht would walk two over 2.1 innings but allowed no hits and no runs to earn the save.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before the game could go final, Alexander had one more highlight in store. A sixth inning home run put the final touch on the Honeybee win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tuesday night will feature a doubleheader between Minot and Wausau. The action gets underway at 4:05 pm CT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Makenna Alexander drove in three of the Honeybees five total runs, an effort worthy of <\/span><b>SportClips MVP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
