MANKATO, MN – After two days off, the Stingers got back in the win column, taking down the Mankato MoonDogs 14-4.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Stingers found themselves down 4-0 after 2 innings at ISG Field, but that wouldn\u2019t last long.<\/span><\/p>\n

Willmar erupted for 8 runs in the third inning, highlighted by 2-out 2-RBI single from Aidan Byrne (Minnesota State-Mankato), who was followed up by an RBI triple off the bat of Andrew Sojka (CSUN).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Stingers then tacked on two more in the 4th, thanks to a 2-RBI double from Derek Lopez (Florida Gulf Coast), which was one his two doubles on the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a solid start from Ian Koosman (Paradise Valley CC), Tate Robertson (Alabama) made his first appearance in a Stinger uniform and was impressive, tossing 2 shutout innings with 3 punchouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hemponix Relief Pitcher of the Game Will Whelan (Minnesota) closed the game out with three no-hit innings, and struck out a game high 7 MoonDogs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sojka had the lone home run of the night on either side, blasting one to center field in the 9th to put a cherry on top of the victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

The same two teams will meet up again tomorrow night at Knute Nelson Memorial Park in Alexandria, as the Alexandria Beetles take on the Mankato MoonDogs with first pitch at 7:05 pm.<\/span><\/p>\n
