Mavericks win series opener from SDSU
4/22/2016 5:11:00 PM | Baseball
OMAHA, Neb. – Omaha right-hander Tyler Fox struck out 10 South Dakota State batters and carried a shutout into the ninth inning in leading the Mavericks to a 4-1 victory in the opening game of a three-game Summit League baseball series Friday afternoon at the Ballpark at Boys Town.
The Mavericks moved into a tie with SDSU for second place in the Summit League standings at 9-7 and improved to 18-19 overall. The Jackrabbits dropped to 14-23 on the season.
Omaha put together a two-out rally in the second inning to break into the scoring column with two runs off Jackrabbit starter Andrew Clemen. Grant Suponchick started the rally with a single, which was followed by three consecutive walks, the last of which to Collin Leif forced in a run. Alex Schultz was then hit by a pitch to plate the second run of the frame.
Suponchick led off the fourth inning with a home run to push the Omaha lead to 3-0. The final Maverick run of the game came in the eighth inning on a steal of home by Schultz.
Fox, who did not walk a batter, retired nine SDSU hitters in a row between the third and sixth innings and limited the Jackrabbits to four hits through the first eight innings. The Jackrabbits doubled their hit total in the ninth inning with four singles, including a run-scoring hit by Matt Johnson that drove in Paul Jacobson. The hit by Johnson extended his career-best hitting streak to 15 games.
SDSU, which had a potential rally snuffed out in the eighth inning by a double play, went on to load the bases with two outs in the ninth on base hits by Newt Johnson and Anthony Schneider to bring the go-ahead run to the plate. However, Fox induced Cody Sharrow to fly out to center for the final out.
Schneider and Phil Velez each tallied two of the Jackrabbits' eight hits.
Omaha managed only three hits against Clemen, who turned in a complete-game effort. The senor from Des Moines, Iowa, finished with four strikeouts and four walks.
The two teams are scheduled to play again at 1 p.m. Saturday.
