Into the ninth, neither team was able to break into the lead as extras were required for the second time for both teams in the week.<\/p>\n
The Stingers failed to get a run in the top of the tenth, but in the bottom half of the inning rallied with some great defense to keep themselves alive. Griffin Cheney doubled up Garrett Delano trying to push into third base from second on a sacrifice, but Cheney’s throw gunned him down.<\/p>\n
In the eleventh, Willmar got off on the right foot as Cesar Lopez hit an RBI single and Jaxon Hallmark drove in a run with a sacrifice. However, St. Cloud evened it back up in the bottom half of the inning on a 2-RBI base hit from Jack Kelly.<\/p>\n
Now in the third inning of extras, Willmar added another two runs on a passed ball that scored Manzardo and am RBI knock for Brooks Lee.<\/p>\n
