St. Cloud State Baseball Completes Weekend Sweep of Wayne State
3/27/2022 10:05:00 PM | Baseball
Huskies score nine runs in first four innings, record second straight shutout
WAYNE, NEB. – St. Cloud State Baseball (13-9, 5-3 NSIC) scored early and often in the series finale against Wayne State (11-10, 5-3 NSIC) to complete the sweep of the Wildcats with an 9-0 win on Sunday in Wayne, Neb. In his first start of the season, senior Fabian Villegas (5.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 4 K's) needed 85 pitches in his clean outing for SCSU.
The offense gave Villegas more than enough run support with nine runs in the first four innings. SCSU really took control in the top of third inning putting up a second consecutive four spot to double the lead 8-0. Later in the game, Paul Steffensen's RBI single put the run rule in effect. Redshirt sophomore Eli Emerson (1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB) came in to close out the 10-0 win and sweep of Wayne State on the road.
KEY MOMENT
In the top of the second inning, senior Max Gamm (0-for-4, R) reached on a fielder's choice when Wildcats starter Jackson Shelburne committed a throwing error trying to turn a double play. After two runs scored on the error, St. Cloud added two more to take a 4-0 lead.
TOP HUSKIES
Husky Outfielder Tyler Schiller
"I really just had to clear my head at the plate, my only focus was seeing the ball out of the pitcher's hand. This weekend was big for the team. The series really showed what this team is capable of and we're feeling good going into the midweek."
UP NEXT
St. Cloud State will now prepare for a midweek doubleheader against Minnesota State (11-4, 4-2 NSIC) on Wednesday, March 30. Game one is scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. CT start with game two following at 3:30 p.m. CT. The game can be watched on the NSIC Network or listened to on the KVSC Sports Stream. Live Stats will be provided by Minnesota State.
