\n\tTHUNDER BAY, Ontario — For the fourth straight year, the Willmar Stingers have clinched a spot in the Northwoods League playoffs with their 15-3 win in Thunder Bay Friday night.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is the fifth time in eight years the Stingers have qualified for the postseason.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTonight Anthony Garza (Missouri S&T) dazzled on the mound, hurling for eight innings and allowing only three runs. He got his first win of the season, striking out five and walking only one batter all night.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHis college teammate Justus Nelson (Missouri S&T) completed the battery. Nelson drove in three runs and went 2-for-5 at the plate, getting his first two hits as a Stinger. \n<\/p>\n

\n\tNelson was one of seven Stingers that had multiple base hits. Luke Becker (Kentucky), Josh Bissonette (Baylor), and Nolan Bumstead (CS-Northridge) all had three hits as the Stingers collected 19 total and cycled nearly seven times through the order.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBumstead was named tonights NWL Player of the Night. In addition to his production at the plate, he made two impressive snags in the field to prevent base hits for Thunder Bay.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe now has a team-high 52 RBIs on the season after driving in three runs. Becker also drove in three.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCody Ulfers (Minnesota State-Mankato) got on base four times in the game with two hits and two walks. His seventh-inning double was his first hit as a Stinger, and it drove in Tyler Reichenborn (Iowa Western).\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEight of Willmar's nine starters drove in at least one run in the game. \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Stingers are now 21-13 on the second half and 39-31 overall. They qualify for the 2017 playoffs as a wild card team.\n<\/p>\n
