SCSU Baseball Drops Doubleheader to Golden Bears
4/15/2026 8:39:00 PM | Baseball
Huskies can’t gain ground in NSIC standings
ST. PAUL, Minn. – St. Cloud State Baseball (18-18, 14-9 NSIC) fell in both games of their doubleheader against Concordia-St. Paul (17-22, 12-15 NSIC) at Barnes Field in St. Paul, Minn. The Golden Bears picked up a walk-off win in the opener, battling back for a 5-4 win in extra innings. The Huskies were then blanked in game two, as CSP earned a 5-0 shutout victory.
Game 1: CSP 5, SCSU 4
In the scheduled seven inning game one, Concordia-St. Paul scored once in each of the first two innings to take a 2-0 lead. A two-out RBI single in the first brought home the first run, before a solo homer to left field in game two.
In the top of the third, the Huskies would get on the board as redshirt junior Hayden Frank (St. Michael, Minn.) lifted a deep fly ball to left for an opposite field home run, cutting the deficit to 2-1. SCSU would strike again with the longball one inning later. Redshirt senior Eric Bello (Manati, Puerto Rico) led off with a walk. With one out, redshirt sophomore Jonathan Pribula (Plymouth, Minn.) towered a two-run homer to right field to put the Huskies in front 3-2.
The Golden Bears drew even in the bottom of the fourth with another solo home run to make it 3-3. Both teams were able to put up a zero defensively in the fifth, with CSP helped out by a good defensive inning including a double play.
In the sixth, redshirt senior Liam Moreno (Sun Prairie, Wis.) opened the inning with a single. Bello attempted to lay down a sacrifice bunt, but the throw to second was wild and both runners were safe. After two quick pop ups, redshirt freshman Max Robinson (St. Michael, Minn.) rolled an infield single down the third base line to load the bases. That set up junior Dawson Schmidt (Shiocton, Wis.), who ripped a groundball through the left side for a go-ahead single to score Moreno. Bello tried to score as well on the play but was thrown out on a good relay for the Golden Bears.
Concordia-St. Paul tied it up again in the bottom of the frame, taking advantage of two errors, one hit, and a sacrifice fly to even the score. Neither side could score in the seventh, sending the game to extra innings.
The eighth went scoreless, sending the game to the ninth. SCSU managed two singles but couldn't score in the top of the inning. In the home half, a leadoff single and outfield error put a runner on second. A sacrifice bunt and RBI single followed to give the Golden Bears the 5-4 walk-off win.
TOP HUSKIES
Concordia-St. Paul earned the sweep in game two behind dominant starting pitching. The Huskies had hits in six of the seven innings in every frame but couldn't push anything across.
The Golden Bears scored two unearned runs in the bottom of the second on an RBI single and a throwing error. CSP tacked on single runs in the third, fourth, and sixth to pad their lead to 5-0.
Sophomore AJ Price (Neenah, Wis.) came on in relief in the third, recording four strikeouts in an inning and one third and escaping a bases-loaded jam in the fourth.
SCSU managed two baserunners in the seventh, on hit by pitch to senior Wyatt Tweet (Russell, Manitoba) and a pinch-hit single from sophomore Austin Baumhover (Van Meter, Iowa), but were held off the board by CSP for the shutout loss.
TOP HUSKIES
The Huskies will be back at home this weekend, hosting Minot State (14-21, 9-16 NSIC) in a three-game series from Joe Faber Field. The teams will play a doubleheader Saturday starting at 1 p.m. before the final game on Sunday.
