DICKINSON, ND – Badlands offense jumped all over struggling Fremont pitching, as the Big Sticks cruised to a 20-14 win over the Moo Monday night.
Listen to the game recap:

 
Fremont jumped on the board in the top of the first. Kanin Dodge walked to lead off the game, then Ronnie McBride tripled to right-center field, driving in Dodge. Two batters later, Matt Abdelnour clubbed a two-run homer to left field to build the Moo lead to 3-0. Badlands stormed back in the bottom of the first with six runs, capped by a two-run home run by Gaylan Young.
The Moo erased the deficit in the second. With two outs, Dillon Sears drew a walk, then stole second with Dodge at the plate. Dodge singled up the middle, driving in Sears. Ronnie McBride homered to left to tie the game at six.
Fremont pushed ahead in the third. Abdelnour led off the inning by reaching on an error. Taylor Howell blasted a two-run homer to give the Moo the lead. Then, Brock Reller doubled to left, then scored two batters later when Jack Simonsen singled up the middle to make it 9-6, Fremont.
But then Badlands exploded for eight runs in the third. The Big Sticks blew the game open in a four-batter stretch where Mason Schwellenbach drew a bases loaded walk to drive in a run. Carson Lundmark followed with a three-run triple. Then, Wyatt Setian belted a two-run homer to left, immediately followed by a Conner Van Cleave solo home run to boost the Badlands lead to 14-9. The Big Sticks added two in the fourth, two in the fifth and one in the sixth to boost the lead to 19-11. Two Moo runs in the seventh cut it to 19-13, but the Big Sticks scored again in the seventh to push their lead to 20-13. Fremont scored once in the ninth to cut it to a six-run gap.
In a losing effort, Dodge reached base six times, including four walks. McBride was 2-for-5 with a triple and a home run with three RBI. Abdelnour was 3-for-4 with three RBI and a home run, while Howell homered twice and drove in six runs.
