SCSU Baseball Splits with Jamestown to Open Series
4/25/2026 10:42:00 PM | Baseball
Pitching shines for both sides in doubleheader
JAMESTOWN, N.D. – St. Cloud State Baseball (19-24, 15-15 NSIC) opened a series against Jamestown (13-30, 8-22 NSIC) by splitting a doubleheader on Saturday. Offense was at a premium as the Huskies shutout the Jimmies 1-0 before Jamestown picked up a 4-3 win in game two. The two pitching staffs combined to allow just eight runs over 16 innings.
Game 1: SCSU 1, UJ 0
The Huskies turned to senior Kahler Key (Onalaska, Wis.) to make the start, and the right-hander was dominant for SCSU. Key allowed just five hits while working all seven innings, walking one and striking out 11. Key needed 115 pitches to finish the complete game shutout.
The only offense of the game would come in the fourth inning. With one out, junior Wilmis Castro (Port St. Lucie, Fla.) reached on an infield error and redshirt freshman Max Robinson (St. Michael, Minn.) singled to put two runners aboard. Redshirt senior Liam Moreno (Sun Prairie, Wis.) lined out to right field, deep enough to allow Castro to tag and advance to third. With two outs, a pitch got away from the Jamestown catcher to allow Castro to score.
That was all the offense the Huskies needed as Key allowed only three base runners over the final three innings to close things out.

The Jimmies grabbed their first lead of the series in game two, scoring three times in the bottom of the first inning. Jamestown scored all three runs with two outs, recording four singles in the frame.
St. Cloud State would answer back in the third inning to tie the game. With one out, redshirt junior Hayden Frank (St. Michael, Minn.) and sophomore Austin Baumhover (Van Meter, Iowa) singled to put runners on first and second. Castro followed with a line drive to left field for a single to score Frank, and Castro and Baumhover moved up to second and third when the ball was misplayed in left field. Senior Wyatt Tweet (Russell, Manitoba) grounded out to bring home Baumhover, and Moreno followed with a double to right field to plate Castro.
The game would stay tied at 3-3 until the sixth inning. With two outs, a walk allowed a Jamestown runner to reach. A stolen base, throwing error, and wild pitch would follow to put the Jimmies in front 4-3, a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
SCSU managed just one hit across the final five innings as Jamestown earned the split.
