DICKINSON — The post-game fireworks show gave fans plenty to stick around for, but the Badlands Big Sticks made sure there was plenty worth watching before the lights went out. Badlands held off the Minot Hot Tots 2-1 Friday night, using timely defense and two sacrifice flies from Gavyn Schlotterback to take the opener of a four-game series at Dakota Community Bank & Trust Ballpark. Badlands' Gavyn Schlotterback accounted for both RBIs in the Big Sticks 2-1 series-opening win against Minot.
