The Tots took game one 9-3 and the Stingers ended up on top 8-5 in game two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Minot came out swinging in the opener, cashing in a leadoff single by Cole Meyer for the game\u2019s first run. Meyer was brought in by catcher Max Ortega, making a positive impact in his Corbett Field debut. It would be Ortega\u2019s Cal State Fullerton teammate, TJ Stottlemyre, who would gather an RBI in the second inning by scoring Bryson Hoier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the Tots up 2-0 early, the attention turned to starting pitcher Noah Dreier. Dreier was almost untouchable in his five-inning start. He surrendered one hit and walked two while blanking the Stingers on the scoreboard. Dreier\u2019s pitching performance easily earned him <\/span><b>SportClips MVP <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">honors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eventually, the Hot Tots would tack on a big inning late in the game, piling on seven runs in the fifth inning alone. The Stingers made a comeback effort at the end, but it came up well short. The Hot Tots extended their win streak to three games with the 9-3 <\/span><b>Skydancer Casino Win<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TJ Stottlemyre added a web gem at shortstop that claimed the <\/span><b>First Command Play of the Game<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> award and debuting reliever Austin Puett had the <\/span><b>SRT Fastest Pitch<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, reaching 94 mph on his fastball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Game two got underway in a similar fashion with Minot scoring early, but it would be Willmar staying neck-and-neck and eventually leaning ahead. After scoring five runs in the first two innings, Hot Tot bats went silent for the remainder of the contest, striking out 11 times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Stingers got the help of two home runs to get a 6-5 lead in the third inning. Willmar would hold off the Hot Tots on their way to an 8-5 victory to wrap up the night\u2019s action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Minot Hot Tots drew five <\/span><b>Buffalo Wild Wings Walks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> over the 14 innings of baseball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One more game is still to be played between the Stingers and Hot Tots this week. A typical nine-inning game with a 6:35 pm first pitch will take place on Friday. Remember as always, Friday home games are R.E.D Fridays at Corbett Field!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After two games, fourteen innings and plenty of fun at the ballpark, the Minot Hot Tots and Willmar Stingers each  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":24834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
