Beavers sweep series with strong offensive performance
ST. CLOUD, Minn. – St. Cloud State Baseball (18-21, 14-12 NSIC) fell 15-6 in the series finale to Minot State (17-21, 12-16 NSIC) as the Beavers finished the three-game sweep. Minot State scored five runs across the first two innings and hit two home runs to power their way to victory at Joe Faber Field.
The Beavers opened the scoring in the top of the first, bringing home a run on three walks and an RBI fielder's choice. The lead would climb to 5-0 in the second after a pair of two-run singles in a long half inning that saw seven batters come to the plate.
The Huskies would end their scoreless stretch in the bottom of the second. Senior Wyatt Tweet (Russell, Manitoba) led off the frame with a laser to left field that went to the wall for a double. Tweet moved to third on a wild pitch and came around to score on an RBI double down the left field line from redshirt junior Hayden Frank (St. Michael, Minn.). An infield single from redshirt freshman Max Robinson (St. Michael, Minn.) and a walk to redshirt senior Liam Moreno (Sun Prairie, Wis.) would load the bases, but the Huskies were unable to bring a second run home.
The game would stay 5-1 until the fifth inning. A walk, sac bunt, and RBI single for Minot State drove home the first run. Back-to-back singles followed to load the bases, setting the stage for a grand slam to make it 10-1 Beavers.
The Huskies would get back on the board in the bottom of the seventh. Frank led off with a single and Robinson followed with a line drive double to right field. Frank would come home to score on a wild pitch to make it 10-2. With runners on the corners, Moreno hit a slow grounder for a fielder's choice that brought home Robinson. Another wild pitch moved Moreno into scoring position before sophomore Austin Baumhover (Van Meter, Iowa) ripped a single up the middle, scoring Moreno to make it 10-4.
Minot State responded quickly, putting up their second five-run inning of the day in the top of the eighth. The Beavers brought eight batters to the plate, including a two-run double and a two-run homer. In the bottom of the inning, a hit-by-pitch, Robinson single, and a walk loaded the bases with two outs. Moreno followed with a deep fly ball to center field that was dropped, scoring two runs to extend the game to the ninth inning.
The Beavers worked a quick 1-2-3 top of the ninth to close out the game and pick up the 15-6 win.
