Amboy dropped down to 12-13 on Wednesday, ending the team's three-game streak of wins. They came up short against the Dakota Indians, falling 18-4. If the Clippers were looking for revenge after losing 18-8 to the Indians when the teams met back in April of 2019, then they'll just have to keep looking.

As for Dakota, they now have a winning record of 12-11. Considering they have won eight games by more than seven runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

For Dakota's part, Koehn Lawler looked comfortable as he struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and only one walk). Lawler also tossed a walk, which is notable because the Indians are 5-2 when he allows at most two walks, but 7-9 otherwise.

At the plate, Brayden Larson and Liam Burke did most of the damage at the plate: Larson went 3-for-5 with four RBI, one run, and one double, while Burke went 2-for-3 with three RBI and two runs. Dakota is 4-1 when Larson posts three or more RBI, but 8-10 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Brodie Goode, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.

Amboy does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Dakota, they will face off against River Ridge/Scales Mound at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
