LUDWIG STYMIES BORDER CATS TO SPLIT 2-GAME SERIES
Jonathan Ludwig hurled 5 shutout innings while striking out 6 Border Cats to lead the way as the Mankato Moondogs take series finale 5-2 at Port Arthur Stadium. Ludwig threw 4 and 2/3rds of no hit baseball before Gunner Hellstrom and Shane Connahan came up with back to back hits. Ludwig then got Trent Athmann to pop out in foul territory to end the threat. Ricky Digrugilliers finished it off for the Moondogs throwing 4 innings of 2 run baseball. Kyle MacDonald had a pair of RBI for Mankato, while going 3-for-4 in the game. Brady Gulakowski had the lone RBI for the Cats. Erik Key picked up the loss for Thunder Bay going 4 innings giving up 2 earned runs (3 total).
