MANKATO, MN – After winning in comeback fashion on Saturday, the Stingers fell on Sunday to the Mankato MoonDogs, 11-4, splitting the series.<\/span><\/p>\n

Willmar fell behind 2-0 early, but tied things up in the 3rd on a Liam Bushey (Western Illinois) 2-RBI single.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Stingers then took their lone lead of the night in the 4th, as Dariel Osoria (Kansas) blasted a home run to center field making it 3-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it was all Mankato from there as they tallied three in the bottom of the inning to retake the lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The MoonDogs added on two more in the 7th and four more in the 8th to seal up the victory and earn the series split.<\/span><\/p>\n

Willmar returns home on Monday night to take on the Bismarck Larks with first pitch at 6:35 pm at Bill Taunton Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n
