SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Bemidji State University baseball and University of Sioux Falls ended its weekend action Sunday afternoon with a doubleheader from Harmodon Field. The Cougars took both games over BSU by scores of 5-3 and 18-7.
Sioux Falls jumped out to a 3-0 lead on the Beavers in game one Sunday before BSU was able to get on the board in the fourth, scoring one run off a sacrifice fly by Mason Bellew.
The Beavers were able to bring the game within one as the bases were loaded and Collin Eckman was hit by a pitch to score a run. With USF up 5-2 going into the seventh after freshman Connor Merriam hit a two run home run, Bemidji State was only able to get one in the seventh as Bo Schmitz singled to center field for a 5-3 game.
Jack Hegarty was the pitcher of record with six innings of work and striking out six. Hegarty is now 2-1 on the season for the Beavers.
In game two, Bemidji State got out early to a 4-0 edge after one and a half innings as it scored one run in the first and put up three in the second. Sioux Falls came back in the bottom of the second inning to take a 5-4 lead but the Beavers would get their lead back with one run in the third and two in the fourth for a 7-5 lead.
That ended BSU’s run as the Cougars gained momentum with six runs in the fourth that was highlighted off a three-run home run by sophomore Austin Richey. USF continued moving its advantage with two runs in the fifth and five in the sixth for an 18-7 victory, which gave it the doubleheader sweep.
On the mound for Bemidji State was Derek Masberg as he pitched three innings allowing 10 runs. Masberg moves his record to 0-2 with the loss. Also seeing action in game two was Cody Benson, Evan Rowe and Parker Havel.
Leading BSU at the plate Sunday was Tyler Nelson as he was 5-for-7, including three doubles and tabbed three runs in the doubleheader.
Bemidji State, now 7-16, 4-4 NSIC, will be back in action Tuesday, March 31 for its 2015 home opener against Northern State University. The doubleheader is set to get underway at 1 p.m. from BSU Baseball Field. The Cougars are now 7-17 overall and 4-4 in the NSIC.
