WILLMAR, MN - After a rainout on Monday the Stingers played two against the Bismarck Larks on Tuesday, splitting the pair.

In game one, the offense came alive, winning 12-7 in comeback fashion.

After falling behind 5-0, Willmar's offense came alive in the third, striking for three runs, highlighted by a Liam Bushey (Western Illinois) 2-RBI single.

Then they took the lead in the 4th with five more runs, four of which coming on 2-RBI singles from Max Buettenback (Nebraska) and Brett Blair (Stanford).

The Stingers added to their lead in the 6th with three more runs, two of which coming on a Jordan Kuhnau (South Dakota State) triple and Hemponix Relief Pitcher of the Game Brett Barfield (Georgia Tech) closed things down.

Game two was a different story as a back-and-forth battle saw the Larks on top at the end by a score of 14-10.

Down 3-1 in the 4th, Hayden Lewis (Nebraska) sparked a rally with a solo home run, and Willmar eventually tied it at 3.

With the score 6-3 in the 6th, Willmar answered with two runs of their own, the second coming on a Dariel Osoria (Kansas) RBI single.

Down 6-5 in the bottom of the 6th, the Stingers rallied for four runs, capped off by a Max Buettenback 2-run home run.
