Unfortunately, they weren\u2019t enough to spark the Bucks past a red-hot Stingers offense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">The Willmar Stingers (5-6) came into Waterloo winning three of their previous four games. Willmar came into the game leading the Northwoods League in batting average, hits, and tied for the league lead in home runs. It didn\u2019t disappoint as the Stingers combined for 14 hits. The Waterloo Bucks (2-9) threw Dylan Gotto who pitched into the seventh inning only allowing two runs until he was pulled for Anthony Pron.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">Pron inherited two runners that would later score as Gotto\u2019s line ended with four runs. Despite the high number of Stinger hits, Gotto was able to keep them off the scoreboard for most of the night. It didn\u2019t help that the Bucks would commit four errors in the early innings of Friday\u2019s game that allowed multiple innings to continue and for the Stingers to get more base runners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">The Stingers would plate three runs in the seventh to take a comfortable 5-1 lead that would end up becoming the final score. Three-hole batter Drey Dirksen led the way for Willmar with three singles, and three RBIs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">The bright spots for Waterloo were Dylan Gotto and Kyle Huckstorf. Gotto despite being the losing pitcher on the scoresheet pitched six complete only allowing two runs to that point, a line that wasn\u2019t helped by the errors in the field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">Huckstorf, a newcomer to the Bucks, joined the team after finishing his freshman season at the University of Iowa. He would launch a solo home run 412-feet to left-centerfield in the third inning, in just his second at-bat of the ballgame. It would end up being the only runs the Bucks would score in the series opener.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">The loss is the Bucks\u2019 ninth of the season, as they\u2019ve now dropped seven of their last eight games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">The Bucks will go for a series split on Saturday at 6:35 p.m. from Riverfront Stadium for the first Fireworks Saturday of the 2022 season.
