WILLMAR, Minn.<\/strong> – Willmar hit three home runs in the first four innings against Alexandria to take a 4-3 lead, but the Beetles came back to defeat the Stingers, 9-7, at Knute Nelson Memorial Park Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Mitch Rowan (San Francisco) gave the Stingers the lead in the first inning with a solo home run on a line drive over the rightfield wall, and Dillon Haupt (San Diego) added to it in the second with a two-run homer to score Kenny Roberts (Alabama).<\/p>\n

Willmar saw its three-run advantage disappear quickly,as the Beetles plated two runs in the bottom of the second, which included a solo home run by Ryan Padilla. Alexandria tied the game one inning later on an RBI groundout by Ben Moore, who leads the Northwoods League with 53 RBIs this season.<\/p>\n

Roberts broke the 3-3 tie in the fourth with a 385-foot home run to leftcenter field for his league-leading 12th homer of the season, but Alexandria wasted no time responding again with two runs in the bottom of the frame to take its first lead of the contest, 5-4.<\/p>\n

Willmar tied the game one more time, 5-5 in the sixth, when Max Kuhn (Kentucky) hit a sacrifice fly to left field to drive home Roberts, who led off the inning with a single and advanced to third on a double by Haupt. Roberts finished the game 3-for-4 with three runs scored and an RBI.<\/p>\n

The Beetles took the lead for good in the bottom of the sixth with three runs on four hits, including two bunts to score a runner from third.<\/p>\n

The Stingers bounced back again in the seventh. After Forrestt Allday (Central Arkansas) and Rowan reached on back-to-back base hits, MIchael Suchy (Florida Gulf Coast) singled up the middle to score both runners and pull the Stingers within one, 8-7. That ended the scoring for Willmar, though, and the Beetles tacked on an additional run in the seventh to make the final score 9-7.<\/p>\n

The Stingers will face Alexandria again Thursday at Bill Taunton Stadium at 7:05 p.m. It’s Beer, Brats and Baseball Night presented by Westside Liquor and Cullen’s Home Center. There will be a special pre-game event at 5 p.m. with beer tasting and specialty brats served from Wick’s Meat Shoppe. All fans in attendance will also have the opportunity to win $1,500 in prizes from Cullen’s Home Center.<\/span><\/p>\n
