In total, he only gave up three hits, keeping the opposition fooled from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Offensively, the only run in the first five innings came via Parker McDaniels, knocking in the opening run for Royal Oak on a second inning single.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the sixth, the Leprechauns added on, with Luke Kosko launching a home run down the right field line to add on two more runs to make it 3-0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A few innings later, Royal Oak added on another trio of runs, with Steven Cavavo bringing in two on a triple, and Michael Zielinski tallying another on a sacrifice fly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Madison would bring across their lone run in the ninth, but it was too late for a potential comeback, and the 6-1 Leprechauns win puts them one win away from Northwoods League history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the Great Plains Championship Game having been played on Wednesday, the St. Cloud Rox emerged victorious, and will host the winner-take-all Northwoods League Championship Game at Joe Faber Field on Thursday. Streaming on FloSports, first pitch from St. Cloud is set for 6:35 p.m. CT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Noah Chavez MADISON, Wis. &#8211; After a 6-1 win in Madison on Tuesday, the Royal Oak Leprechauns have secured  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":155,"featured_media":19578,"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-19577","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) -
