St. Cloud State falls to Augustana at NSIC baseball tournament on May 10
5/10/2018 8:25:00 PM | Baseball
The #3 seed St. Cloud State University baseball team (29-14) lost a close 5-2 decision against #2 seed Augustana University (42-8) in second round play of the 2018 NSIC baseball tournament on Thursday, May 10 at Sioux Falls Stadium in Sioux Falls, S.D.
The loss moves the Huskies into a game tonight against Minot State in the double-elimination tournament. Minot State opened its day of play by knocking Minnesota State Mankato out of tournament play and both the Huskies and Beavers enter the game tonight with 1-1 tournament records.
In the game against Augustana, St. Cloud State jumped to an early 2-0 lead with a single by Aaron Hammann that scored Caeden Harris and Issac Matchinsky in the second inning. Those runs proved to be the extent of SCSU's offense in the game as Augustana played shutout baseball after that point. In the bottom of the second, Augie charted two solo home runs to tie the game at 2-2. Another home run in the fourth inning provided the Vikings with the game winning run.
The contest then turned into a defensive battle before Augustana iced the game with two more runs in the bottom of the eighth to make the final 5-2. Mitch Mallek led the Huskies in the contest with two hits, while AU outhit the Huskies 11-7. Kyle Boser was the pitcher of record for SCSU with three runs and six hits allowed in 4.2 innings of work. Shannon Ahern and Matt Butler provided relief pitching for the Huskies, while Todd Mitzel improved to 9-0 with the victory for Augustana.
