BROOKINGS, S.D. ? After rain, snow and cold postponed South Dakota State's home opener six times, the Jackrabbits finally opened the new Jackrabbit Softball Stadium on Friday. Unfortunately for the 163 fans in attendance though, SDSU fell in two games at the hands of rival North Dakota State 3-0 and 6-3.
Brooke Postma drew a walk to open Game 1, but for the first time in her Jackrabbit career, got thrown out trying to steal second, snapping her streak of successful stolen bases at 35.
The Bison drew first blood in the fourth inning, when Kelly Cantrel hit a one-out double to get into scoring position, and then advanced to third base on a wild pitch.
Cantrel scored when the next batter, Melissa Chmielewski, reached on a fielder's choice to get NDSU on the board with a 1-0 lead.
Bison starter Allison Bakke took a no-hitter into the bottom of the fifth inning, but Kiley Schwedhelm broke it up with a lead-off single, in what ended up being the Jacks only hit of the contest.
NDSU tacked on two more insurance runs in the top of the seventh to secure the 3-0 win.
Bakke went on to earn the complete game win to improve to 18-11 on the season, giving up the just the one hit, while striking out 11 and walking three.
Jenna Marston scattered three hits, struck out three and walked none in a complete game loss, dropping her to 7-11 on the season.
Game 2 of the double-dip saw more offense, but eventually saw the Jacks fall again, this time 6-3.
After two scoreless innings, Chmielewski hit the first home run in Jackrabbit Softball Stadium, a three run shot over the left field fence to put the Bison up 3-0.
The Jacks started chipping away at the lead in the bottom of the fourth, when Steph Kuhl knocked in Denise Leon for her school best 125th RBI to make it 3-1 NDSU. Leon singled to open the inning, and got into position for Kuhl on a Samantha Heinzman bunt single.
Amanda Fedson opened the Jacks half of the fifth with a walk and advanced to second on a Brooke Postma sacrifice bunt.
Leon followed that up with her second hit of the day, an RBI single scored Fedson to get the Jacks within one at 3-2. Leon advanced to second on the throw home, then to third on another Heinzman bunt single, before eventually scoring the tying run on a wild pitch.
The Bison then capitalized on a pair of Jackrabbit errors in the sixth to take the lead back at 4-3, then salted the game away with two runs on three hits in the seventh.
Bakke, who came on in relief in the fourth inning, earned her second win of the day. She pitch 3 and two-thirds innings, striking out five and walking two.
Marston, who came on in the fifth inning for the Jacks, pitched three innings with no strikeouts and no walks, took the loss.
SDSU falls to 11-24 on the season with the losses, while the Bison improve to 29-21 with the sweep.
The Jacks return to action on Saturday, when they host Valparaiso in a doubleheader at the Jackrabbit Softball Stadium. First pitch is schedule for noon.
