KASSON — The Kasson Coyotes snapped a 3-3 tie by scoring six runs in the bottom of the fifth inning en route to a 10-3 victory over the Rochester Roadrunners on Monday night in Twin Rivers League amateur baseball.
The field in Kasson does not have lights, so the teams played a seven-inning game.
With the score tied 3-3 in the fifth, the Coyotes loaded the bases. Nick Thompson’s one-out single plated two runs and a misplay in the outfield allowed a third run to score. Thompson was 2-for-4 in the game with three RBIs. Catcher Nate Gasner was 2-for-3.
