Waterloo would tally five more runs and go on to win 14-4.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWith 21 hits hits on the night, the Bucks fell one short of their franchise record of 22. Connor McClain won player of the game honors, stuffing the stat sheet with&nbsp;three hits and four runs batted in.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tCollin Wendinger&nbsp;allowed four runs over four innings and ended up with a no decision. Alec Knop came in to relieve Wendinger in the fifth and eventually earned the victory, his first with&nbsp;the Bucks.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMankato defeated Willmar in other Northwoods&nbsp;League action, meaning that the Bucks are tied for first in the North Division standings.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Bucks wrap up their regular season home schedule with a matchup against Thunder Bay on Wednesday night. That game will take place at Riverfront Stadium at 6:35 p.m. Nick Veale&nbsp;is slated to be the starter in that one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite an ugly top of the first, in which Thunder Bay posted a quick three runs, the Bucks managed to  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":3192,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-team-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
