2/27/2021 10:43:00 PM | Baseball
GREELEY, Colo. – South Dakota State scored four times in the top of the 10th inning and Jackrabbit relief pitchers combined for 11 strikeouts in five innings as the Jackrabbits defeated Northern Colorado, 6-2, in the opening game of a nonconference baseball doubleheader Saturday at Jackson Field.
Game 2 of the doubleheader was suspended because of darkness at the end of the sixth inning with the game tied at 3-all. Play is scheduled to resume at 11 a.m. Mountain Time (noon Central) and will be followed by the final game of the four-game series.
In Saturday's opener, the international tiebreaker went into effect in the top of the 10th. Jordan Sagedahl, who made the last out of the SDSU ninth, was placed at second base to start the inning and scored the go-ahead run on a double by fellow freshman Jess Bellows. The Jackrabbits tacked on an insurance run as Bellows scored after back-to-back bunt singles by Landon Badger and Luke Ira. Derek Hackman then gave SDSU a four-run lead with a two-run double to the right-center gap that plated both Badger and Ira.
Jackrabbit reliever Bret Barnett made the lead stand up as the junior left-hander struck out the side in order in the bottom of the 10th. Barnett pitched the final 2 2/3 innings for SDSU, notching strikeouts on seven of the eight outs he recorded.
SDSU took a 1-0 lead in the opening inning as Badger led off the game with a double and later scored on a groundout.
Northern Colorado answered with a run in the second inning and the two squads traded third-inning runs. Badger singled and later scored on an error, while Jake Gitter scored the UNC run on a base hit by Josh Glenn.
SDSU starter Cody Carlson exited after allowing leadoff single in the sixth inning. Eli Sundquist relieved and recorded four strikeouts in 2 1/3 innings. Carlson scattered seven hits, struck out three and walked two over five-plus frames.
Badger was 3-for-5 and scored three runs, with Ira adding three hits to pace the Jackrabbits' 10-hit attack.
