SDSU completes sweep of Fort Wayne
4/3/2016 7:29:00 PM | Baseball
KOKOMO, Ind. – The South Dakota State University baseball team completed a perfect weekend by sweeping a doubleheader from Fort Wayne Sunday at Kokomo Municipal Stadium.
The Jackrabbits, who won by scores of 9-3 and 10-6, improved to 8-18 overall and improved to 5-4 in The Summit League. Fort Wayne dropped to 12-16 overall and 1-8 in league play.
Game 1
In the opener, the Jackrabbits raced out to a 7-0 lead through five innings. Phil Velez opened the scoring with a run-scoring single in the second and Jesse Munsterman added a sacrifice fly in the third. SDSU then broke the game open with a five-run fifth inning highlighted by two-run singles by Cody Sharrow and Nick Smith.
SDSU starter Henry DeCaster pitched four shutout innings before giving way to Landon Busch. DeCaster, a freshman left-hander, allowed only one hit, walked two and struck out two. Busch followed with 4 2/3 innings of strong relief, striking out five, in winning his fourth consecutive decision out of the bullpen.
Paul Jacobson capped the Jackrabbit scoring with a two-run single in the eighth. Jacobson and Matt Johnson each recorded two of SDSU's 10 hits.
Game 2
SDSU took the lead for good with a four-run fifth inning and added some insurance runs in the late innings en route to a 10-6 victory.
Trailing 3-2 through four innings, Munsterman gave the Jackrabbits the lead in the top of the fifth with a two-run double that scored both Paul Jacobson and Luke Ringhofer. Newt Johnson followed with an RBI double down the left field-field line and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Sharrow.
The Mastodons pulled back to within a run at 6-5 in the home half of the fifth on RBI singles by Brandon Soat and Shane Trevino against SDSU starter Ryan Froom, but the Jackrabbits put the game away with more offense and strong pitching out of the bullpen down the stretch.
Newt Johnson delivered his second run-scoring double of the game and Sharrow added his second sacrifice fly of the game in the seventh inning. The Jackrabbits tacked on two more runs in the ninth as Sharrow doubled in the first run of the frame and later scored on a base hit by Smith.
Jacobson was 4-for-6 and stole three bases in the contest to lead the Jackrabbit offensive attack. Munsterman and Sharrow each tallied two hits and three runs batted in, while Newt Johnson finished with the pair of doubles and two RBI.
Greg Kaiser and Brock Logan hit home runs for Fort Wayne.
Froom earned his first win of the season after striking out five and walking only one over five innings. Joe Erickson gave up one run over two innings, while Chris Halbur finished up with two shutout innings to earn his first save as a Jackrabbit.
SDSU begins a five-game homestand Wednesday by hosting the University of North Dakota in doubleheader action. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. at Erv Huether Field.
NOTES: The Jackrabbits outscored Fort Wayne, 37-14, in the three-game series … SDSU swept a three-game series from a Summit League opponent for the first time since a home sweep of North Dakota State last season (April 10-12, 2015) … Ringhofer extended his hitting streak to 13 games in the opener, but had that streak end in Sunday's second game as he went 0-for-2 with three walks … Jacobson stole three bases in a game for the second time this season (at Northern Colorado on March 11) and has a team-leading 12 steals this season
