HUSKIES OPEN SEASON WITH RANKED WINS OVER MISSOURI SOUTHERN, AUGUSTANA
St. Cloud State opened the 2025 season with three wins over ranked opponents in its first two series, beating No. 11 Missouri Southern once in a three-game set (Feb. 7-9) and splitting a four-game series with No. 5 Augustana (Feb. 24-25).
Against Missouri Southern, the Huskies won the second game, 7-3 behind a two-run home run from senior Blaine Guthrie (Emerald, Wis.) and 5.2 scoreless innings of relief from redshirt junior Brady Nelson (Oro Valley, Ariz.) and redshirt senior Frankie Volkers (Maple, Grove, Minn.). Guthrie led the way offensively for the Huskies in the season-opening series, hitting .273 (3-for-11) with two home runs, a double, three RBI and two runs. He led the Huskies in home runs and RBI on the week and already matched his home run total from a season ago (41 games played in 2024). On the mound, redshirt junior Cael Kolacia (Fort Dodge, Iowa) provided a quality start in the season-opener, pitching six innings while only allowing one run on five hits with three strikeouts.
SCSU won the first and fourth games against Augustana to split or win its third consecutive series against the Vikings. SCSU got a strong start from Kolacia in the first game, as he pitched six innings while only allowing three runs on four hits with two strikeouts, but exited the game trailing. Redshirt junior Eric Bello (Manati, Puerto Rico) provided the clutch hit SCSU needed, launching a two-run home run in the seventh before Volkers recorded the save. In game four, the Huskies scored a season-high four runs behind four hits from redshirt junior Liam Moreno (Sun Prairie, Wis.) and first career home runs from junior Wyatt Tweet (Russell, Manitoba) and redshirt sophomore Hayden Konkol (Denmark, Wis.).
