Jackrabbits blank K-State to open series
3/10/2020 9:18:00 PM | Baseball
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Four South Dakota State pitchers combined to shut out Kansas State, 4-0, in the opening game of a two-game nonconference baseball series Tuesday night at Tointon Family Stadium.
The Jackrabbits improved to 5-11 overall, while K-State dropped to 9-7 on the season.
Each of the four Jackrabbit hurlers in the game worked at least two innings in scattering eight hits. Freshman starter Eli Sundquist worked the first three innings, striking out three, giving up four hits and allowing the only walk of the night by the Jackrabbit pitching staff.
Cody Carlson and Nate Holliday followed by making their season debuts, with each tossing two innings. Carlson fanned two and allowed one hit, while Holliday struck one and gave up three hits.
Brett Mogen finished with two perfect innings in which he struck out one.
SDSU capitalized on some early Wildcat mistakes to build a 2-0 lead through two innings. Landon Badger led off the game by reaching on an error and scored all the way from first base on Braeden Brown's double to the wall in right field.
Derek Hackman scored the second Jackrabbit run of the night on a wild pitch in the second inning.
In the fourth inning, Hackman walked and moved to third on a double by Wyatt Andersen. Badger then came through with a two-out single to right that scored both runners for what proved to be the final margin.
Badger's hit would be the last by the Jackrabbits as SDSU finished with four hits in the contest. No player had more than one hit for the Jackrabbits, while Dylan Phillips and Daniel Carinci each tallied two hits for Kansas State.
K-State stranded nine runners in the game, including two men on base in each of the first two innings.
Wildcat starter Caleb Littlejim allowed all four Jackrabbit runs in taking the loss. Jaxon Passino recorded three shutout innings to finish on the mound for the Wildcats.
UP NEXT
The two teams are scheduled to play the series finale at 6 p.m. Wednesday
