OLATHE, Kan. – MNU split its home doubleheader with Peru State on Wednesday, dropping a tight first game before rallying in a comeback win in the nightcap.

In Game 1, MNU was locked in a pitcher's duel but came up just short, falling 1-0.

The lone run of the game came in the 1st inning on a solo home run, and MNU was unable to respond offensively. The Pioneers had opportunities, placing runners on base in multiple innings, but couldn't deliver the timely hit.

In the circle, Mandy Brown was outstanding despite the loss, striking out 10 batters over a complete game while allowing just 1 run on 4 hits.
