Huskies Finish Sweep of Northern State at US Bank Stadium
3/1/2026 1:06:00 AM | Baseball
SCSU extends winning streak over Northern State to 19 games
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – St. Cloud State Baseball (7-4, 5-1 NSIC) finished off a series sweep of Northern State (0-4, 0-3 NSIC) with 15-8 and 3-0 wins on Saturday night at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The Huskies scored a season-best 15 runs in the first game before recording its first shutout in nearly two years in the series finale.
GAME 1 – SCSU 15, NSU 8
Northern State scored the game's first two runs before SCSU scored seven straight runs, scoring in each of the second, third and fourth innings. Junior Wilmis Castro (Port St. Lucie, Fla.) got the scoring started with a moonshot, deep home run to left field in the second inning. The Huskies score two more on an RBI single from redshirt freshman Max Robinson (St. Michael, Minn.) and a sacrifice fly from redshirt junior Hayden Frank (St. Michael, Minn.). SCSU then extended its lead to 4-2 with an RBI single from redshirt senior Eric Bello (Manati, Puerto Rico) in the third inning.
SCSU scored three more runs in the fourth inning with redshirt senior Liam Moreno (Sun Prairie, Wis.) knocking in two with a single followed by another RBI single from freshman Ryan Cahoon (Northfield, Minn.). Northern State would then chase SCSU starting pitcher sophomore AJ Price (Neenah, Wis.) with two runs in each of the fourth and fifth inning to pull within one run at 7-6, but that would be as close as they would get with the Huskies extending its lead back to four runs in the seventh inning.
Moreno continued his hot stretch at the plate with two more RBI on a double in the seventh inning rally, followed by a sacrifice fly from senior Wyatt Tweet (Russell, Manitoba) to make the score 10-6. In the eighth inning, Robinson added his second RBI single of the game to extend the lead to 11-6.
TOP HUSKIES
SCSU sent Hayden Frank out to the mound in the second game, and he turned in his best start to-date as a Husky. Frank pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out two batters to earn first win on the bump.
The Huskies scored all three of their runs in the sixth and seventh innings, with Cahoon scoring on an RBI double from Castro in the sixth and then two runs in the seventh on and RBI single from senior Nick Ibrahim (Woodbury, Minn.), who later scored on a wild pitch.
TOP HUSKIES
SCSU will next head to central Florida for the Russmatt Central Florida Invitational, where the Huskies will play eight games in eight days in Winter Haven, Fla. SCSU will begin the nonconference tournament with a doubleheader on Wednesday, March 4 against Davis & Elkins at 11:30 a.m. CT and Saginaw Valley State at 3:00 p.m. CT.
