2/11/2024 11:04:00 PM | Baseball
VanBeck strikes out six in 6.0 IP, Gumbko increases hit streak to six to open 2024 campaign
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – St. Cloud State Baseball (1-5, 0-0 NSIC) was dropped a series finale to Missouri Western, 3-0, on Sunday afternoon in St. Joseph, Mo. Senior Payton VanBeck (Elrosa, Minn.) made his second consecutive strong start for the Huskies, pitching six innings while only allowing one run and five hits while recording five strike outs.
VanBeck cruised through four innings before Missouri Western was able to muster the first run of the game in the fifth inning on a sacrifice fly. The Griffons would push two more runs across in the seventh on a wild pitch and passed ball.
St. Cloud State stranded 13 runners on base in the game, including leaving the bases loaded in the fourth inning. The Huskies got the tying run to the plate in the ninth inning, but junior Sawyer Smith (Somers, Wis.) struck out before redshirt senior Noah Dehne (St. Paul, Minn.) flew out to left field to end the game.

St. Cloud State will next open conference play against Southwest Minnesota State on Feb. 17-18. The four game set will be played with two doubleheaders beginning at Noon CT each day.
