The Minot Hot Tots and the Bismarck Larks began the second game of their two game series right on time at 6:35 p.m. at the Bismarck Municipal Ballpark to close out the season’s first Dakota Dust Up.

The two teams played uninterrupted through a scoreless two and a half innings before weather over Bismarck delayed the game.

Play resumed hours later, and the game remained scoreless through to the top of the seventh inning.

The Larks scored the first run of the game with an RBI single at deadline.

The Hot Tots will return back home to Corbett Field to take on the Mankado MoonDogs on Wednesday, June 17.
