The freshman from Omaha started off the game by facing the minimum through six whole innings. The only Minot baserunner to that point, Bryson Hoier, reached on a hit by pitch, but was called out on a batter interference play resulting in an inning-ending double play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meyer would eventually cave in, allowing four hits and three runs to score in the seventh, but his start was beyond satisfactory, earning his first victory and tying a season-high with six strikeouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As for the Hot Tot pitching, starter Kahler Key was roughed up early on. The Huskies pieced together three hits in the first inning to take a 1-0 lead and then used a Noah Furcht two-run home run in the third to extend it to a 3-0 margin. Key lasted 4.1 innings, in which seven runs crossed the plate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Out of the bullpen, Pavlos Piperakis, Kyle Burns and JR Fordham combined to allow four hits and four more runs but collectively struck out seven Duluth batters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even with Maddox Meyer out of the game, the Hot Tots were simply stuck in the late innings against a hot Huskies team who picked up their third consecutive win on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the 11-3 losing decision, Minot drops to 3-12 on the season but will go for at least a split tomorrow in Duluth. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 pm CT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tate Vogler was named <\/span><b>SportClips MVP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in his Hot Tot debut, going 1-for-4 with an RBI double. Vogler\u2019s extra-base hit was also deemed <\/span><b>First Command Play of the Game<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. A total of four <\/span><b>Buffalo Wild Wings Walks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> were drawn by the Hot Tots in the contest.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In
