Huskies Split Doubleheader in Florida Opener
3/4/2026 8:25:00 PM | Baseball
SCSU defeated by Davis & Elkins, takes game two against Saginaw Valley State
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. – St. Cloud State Baseball (8-5, 5-1 NSIC) opened the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational with a 11-5 loss to Davis & Elkins (2-8, 0-0 MEC) before bouncing back in game two with a 9-3 victory over Saginaw Valley State (9-3, 0-0 GLIAC). The Huskies hit three home runs on the day, while getting dominant pitching in the victory.
GAME 1 – D&E 11, SCSU 5
St. Cloud State opened the scoring in the top of the first, loading the bases on three walks before a wild pitch allowed redshirt senior Liam Moreno (Sun Prairie, Wis.) to come home. From there, the Huskies surrendered four runs in the bottom of the first on two walks, two errors, and just one hit. SCSU would trail the rest of the game and were unable to capitalize on multiple free passes from Senators pitching. The Huskies would load the bases again in the third and fourth but came up empty.
Davis & Elkins would score five more in the bottom of the fourth to extend the lead to 9-1, before SCSU would get one back in the fifth. Redshirt freshman Jack Clark (Solon, Iowa) walked and advanced around the bases on three wild pitches. The Senators added two more across the fifth and seventh to jump the lead to 11-2.
The Huskies would strike for two in the top of the eighth on an RBI single from Moreno and a RBI groundout from senior Wyatt Tweet (Russell, Manitoba). In the ninth, senior Nick Ibrahim (Woodbury, Minn.) hit a solo home run to right field with two outs in the ninth for his first SCSU home run to round out the scoring.
TOP HUSKIES
The Huskies would once again score first, as junior Wilmis Castro (Port St. Lucie, Fla.) doubled, advanced to third on a groundout by redshirt senior Eric Bello (Manati, Puerto Rico), and scored on a wild pitch in the second inning. Things would open up in the fourth as SCSU brought 10 batters to the plate and scored four runs to increase the lead to 5-0. With runners on second and third, Bello bounced into a fielders' choice that brought home one run. Junior Dawson Schmidt (Shiocton, Wis.) drove in two with a single to left center field, and senior Wyatt Tweet (Russell, Manitoba) picked up an RBI with his two out single.
SCSU rounded out the scoring with a pair of two-run home runs, one in the sixth and one in the seventh. In the sixth, Tweet turned on a fastball and drove it out to deep right center field for his fourth longball of the season. One inning later, redshirt junior Hayden Frank (St. Michael, Minn.) mashed a homer of his own to right field. It was Frank's first home run as a Husky.
Huskies senior starter Bryce Brassfield (Gilbert, Ariz.) was dominant on the mound, scattering five hits and allowing just three earned runs over eight innings of work with nine strikeouts. Redshirt sophomore Parker Lewin (Orono, Minn.) closed out the game in the ninth, allowing one hit while striking out one.
TOP HUSKIES
SCSU will be back in action for game three at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational tomorrow as the Huskies face No. 10 Barry (11-6, 2-4 SSC) at 2:30 p.m. CT.
