Olmstead pitches Jacks past Omaha
3/31/2018 6:05:00 PM | Baseball
OMAHA, Neb. – Tyler Olmstead struck out a career-high 10 batters over six innings and South Dakota State took a shutout into the ninth inning before holding off Omaha, 6-2, in a Summit League baseball series finale Saturday afternoon at Seymour Smith Park.
The Jackrabbits improved to 4-19 overall and 2-5 in league play. Omaha fell to 11-15 overall and 7-2 in The Summit League.
A sophomore from Sioux Falls, Olmstead limited Omaha to two hits and walked three in earning his second win of the season. The right-hander finished his outing by recording eight strikeouts over the final three innings, including fanning the side in both the fifth and sixth innings.
After leaving the bases loaded in each of the first two innings, SDSU broke a scoreless deadlock with a three-run fourth inning. Anthony Schneider and Newt Johnson each singled with two outs to plate the first two runs, while Tony Kjolsing scored the final run of the frame on an error.
SDSU added single runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Schneider was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to force in the fifth-inning run, with Logan Holtz continuing the Jackrabbits' clutch two-out hitting with a double that scored Newt Johnson in the sixth.
The Jackrabbit lead grew to 6-0 in the top of the ninth as Kjolsing delivered a sacrifice fly to plate Phil Velez, who led off the inning with a walk.
Omaha rallied in the home half of the ninth to spoil the Jackrabbit shutout bid. Each of the first five Maverick batters reached base, highlighted by run-scoring singles from Thomas DeBonville and Tyler Daugherty, but Jackrabbit reliever Brett Mogen retired the next three batters – two by strikeout – to end the rally and the game.
Eight different Jackrabbits recorded a hit as SDSU out-hit the Mavericks, 9-6. Josh Falk was the lone player for either team with two hits.
UP NEXT
After announcing a number of schedule changes earlier in the week, the Jackrabbits are now scheduled to return to action Friday (April 6) versus Fort Wayne. The game is scheduled for a 3 p.m. first pitch at Karras Park Home of Ronken Field on the Augustana University campus in Sioux Falls.
NOTES
* Omaha claimed the weekend series, 2-1, after sweeping a doubleheader on Friday
* Olmstead's 10 strikeouts were the most by a Jackrabbit pitcher this season
* Olmstead became the first SDSU pitcher to record double digits in strikeouts in a game since Chris Anderson posted 10 K's at Iowa on April 26, 2014
* Johnson reached base safely for the 16th consecutive game
* Skyler Wenninger had his streak of reaching base safely end at 15 games
* Falk tallied his team-best eighth multi-hit game of the season
* SDSU stranded a season-high 16 runners in the game
