Willmar opened up its four-game road-trip on the right foot with a 5-2 win over the Bismarck Larks on Friday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Stingers never trailed in the game and they got started early with a 2-RBI single from Zach Stroh to plate the first runs in the second.<\/span><\/p>\n

That score would hold until the fourth inning where after a double from Jake Hjelle, he would come around to score via a wild pitch to make it a 3-0 Stingers lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Helping the cause early on would be the MinnWest Technology Player of the Game Ray Cebulski who threw five shutout innings while striking out seven batters in his Stinger debut.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once Cebulski went out of the game, the Hemponix Relief Pitcher of the Game Alex Clemons would keep the lead alive for the Stingers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also helping the cause was Kyle Payne who hit his first home run of the season, a two-run blast in the seventh inning to up the Stingers lead to 5-0.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Larks would tack on two runs late in the game but it wouldn\u2019t be enough as Ben Irsfeld shut things down with a two-inning save to secure the 5-2 win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Willmar is now back to a winning record in 2023, sitting at 2-1 as the final game of the two-game series with Bismarck is set for Saturday night at 7:05.<\/span><\/p>\n
