Stover then reached on an error by the shortstop that allowed both Gonzalez and Dwyer to score.<\/p>\n<p>Brainerd came back with three runs on three hits in the third inning and forced Tanner Banks to leave the game because he exceeded the 35-pitch limit for one inning in the Northwoods League. Gonzalez tied the game in the bottom of the frame with a two-out home run to left field. However, an RBI double by Casey Roche broke the 3-3 tie in the seventh, and&nbsp;the Lunkers added an unearned run in the eighth to give the Stingers their third consecutive defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Dwyer led the Stingers with three hits in the game, while Gonzalez finished 2-for-3 with two runs and an RBI. Mitch Rowan (Willamette) added two hits in four at-bats.<\/p>\n<p>Willmar will now travel to Brainerd for three-straight road games against the Lunkers, beginning with Monday night&#8217;s game at 7:05 p.m. The Stingers will return home Thursday night for &ldquo;Once Upon a Time Night&rdquo; featuring a variety of fairy tale princesses. The princesses will be on hand to throw out the first pitch and take photos with kids. Thursday night&#8217;s game will begin at 7:05 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The 2011 season is presented by Charter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WILLMAR, Minn. &#8211; Eduardo Gonzalez (Alcorn State) hit his first home run of the year to tie the game, 3-3,  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"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":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-team-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
