Game 1 Box |
Game 2 Box The MNU offense scored 4 runs in the bottom of the first inning of Game 1 and kept scoring all day in a double header sweep of Dakota State on Monday. The Pioneers scored 2 in the 2nd, 4 more in the 3rd, and 5 in the 5th to take a 15-6 lead and the victory.

Kyle Segraves (2-5, 2 R, 2 RBI), Tim Barraza (2-3, 2 R, 3 RBI, BB, SB),
Ben Alison (2-5, 2 R, SB),

In Game 2, a 1-run DSU lead was short-lived as MNU batted around put up 5 in the bottom of the 1st. The Pioneers scored a single run in the 2nd and it looked like another blowout, but the Trojans answered with 6 runs in the top of the 3rd to take a 7-6 lead. Dakota State wouldn't score again, however, and the Pioneers put up 4 in the 4th and 2 more in the 5th to push the lead to 12-7.
Tim Barraza pitched 5 strong innings in relief for the victory. And
Derek Glenn (1-2, 2 R, 2B, RBI, HBP, SF, SB),

Josh Greer (1-1, 2 R, RBI, 2 BB, HBP, SB),
Alex Murrieta (2-4, 2 R, HR, 4 RBI, SB), and
