Three Huskies produce multi-hit games in 22-9 loss
Riola opened the scoring with a solo home run in the first inning. An RBI double from Ethan Navratil (1-for-4, R, 2B, 2 RBI) followed by a Wallat RBI single in the third put SCSU back up 3-1, then Sioux Falls tied things at three in the home half.
A run-scoring wild pitch and a two-run Bulson blast in the fourth gave the Huskies a 6-3 lead, but Sioux Falls' lineup broke things open with a six-spot in the bottom of the inning. Riola singled home a run in the fifth to make it 9-7 before the Cougars responded with six in their half and seven an inning later.

Games two and three of the series will be played as a noon CT doubleheader on Monday with live coverage provided on the NSIC Network.
