The Minot Hot Tots and Badlands Big Sticks face off for the final game of their two-game series this afternoon. The Battle of the Badlands trophy is also still up in the air with the Hot Tots holding a 2-1 lead in the season series after a 10-5 win yesterday.

Max Ortega tied a Hot Tots record with four hits in a game. He is batting clean-up again today and is looking to lead the Minot offense to another productive day. Over this four game winning streak, the Hot Tots have averaged ten runs-per-game.
