Big sixth innings lead to Jackrabbit sweep
3/7/2017 9:40:00 AM | Baseball
MINNEAPOLIS – South Dakota State scored five runs in the sixth inning of both games to sweep Waldorf by scores of 10-4 and 5-3 in a baseball doubleheader that ended in the wee hours of Tuesday morning at U.S. Bank Stadium.
With their two victories, the Jackrabbits evened their overall season record at 4-4. Waldorf dropped to 2-10 on the season.
In Game 1, SDSU spotted Waldorf a 3-0 first-inning lead before scoring 10 of the final 11 runs.
Nick Smith led off the Jackrabbits' home half of the first and scored on a sacrifice fly by Luke Ringhofer to put SDSU on the board.
SDSU tied the game at 3 in the bottom of the third without the benefit of a hit. Four walks, including a free pass to Matt Johnson with the bases loaded, and an RBI groundout by Landon Badger led to two Jackrabbit runs.
The Jackrabbits gained the lead for good with two runs in the fourth. Skyler Wenninger scored on Smith's second hit of the game and Smith later scored the third of his four runs in the contest on an error.
After Waldorf countered with a run in the top of the sixth, the Jackrabbits broke the game open with the five-run sixth-inning rally that started after a two-out error. Smith scored the first run of the frame on a wild pitch, then Newt Johnson drove in two runs with a ground-rule double to left field. Matt Johnson and Landon Badger each delivered run-scoring singles to close out the scoring.
Ryan Froom shook off a rough first inning to pick up the win. The senior right-hander from nearby Crystal, Minnesota, allowed four hits and a walk in the first inning, then held the Warriors to two hits over his final five innings of work. Froom struck out six and walked three, en route to his second win of the season.
Smith was 2-for-3 to lead the Jackrabbits' eight-hit effort. Newt Johnson and Matt Johnson each drove in two runs.
In Game 2, SDSU again trailed 3-0 before Newt Johnson and Matt Johnson started the Jackrabbit sixth-inning rally with back-to-back doubles. Philip Jacobson tied the game with a two-run, two-out single, with Phil Velez scoring the go-ahead run on a wild pitch. Jacobson scored the final run of the inning on the back end of a double steal.
Waldorf out-hit the Jackrabbits, 10-6. The Warriors scored single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings.
Jacobson went 2-for-3 to be the only SDSU player with more than one hit.
Derek Feige picked up the win in relief of Jackrabbit starter Brady Stover. Chris Halbur struck out the side in order in the top of the seventh for his second save of the season.
UP NEXT
The Jackrabbits are scheduled to play Minnesota in a 6 p.m. game Tuesday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
