Northern Colorado scores late to defeat SDSU
BROOKINGS, S.D. (KELO) — Northern Colorado scored five times in the top of the eighth inning and received five shutout innings in relief from Hunter Gibson to post a 9-6 victory over South Dakota State in the opening game of a three-game Summit League baseball series Friday afternoon at Erv Huether Field. UNC improved to 17-26 overall and 8-14 in league play. The Jackrabbits dropped to 12-29 overall and 8-13 in The Summit League. SDSU scored in each of the first four innings in holding a 6-4 lead midway through the contest. After the Bears scored twice in the top of the first inning, the Jackrabbits quickly loaded the bases in their first at-bat on only three pitches as Carter Sintek singled, Nolan Grawe doubled to the warning track in left-center field and Bryce Ronken was hit by a pitch. However, the Jackrabbits would only come away with one run in the first inning as Jess Bellows came through with a two-out infield single that plated Sintek. UNC used more small ball to score an unearned run in the top of the second, but SDSU drew back to within a run when Keagen Jirschele led off the bottom of the frame with his second home run off the season. Jirschele then tied the game at 3-all an inning later with an RBI double. An RBI single by Brett Barber put the Bears back out front at 4-3 in the fourth before SDSU struck for three runs in the home half of the inning. Bryce Ronken doubled in both Sintek and Grawe for the first two runs, with Ronken later scoring on a sacrifice fly by Adam Benes. It remained a 6-4 game until the fateful top of the eighth, when the Bears batted around. Jake King walked and Craig Kenny reached on an infield single off SDSU reliever Tristan Augedahl to open the inning. The Jackrabbits then went to closer Dylan Driessen, who walked pinch hitter Dalton Miller to load the bases before Nick Barber plated one run with a groundout and Carter Monda followed two batters later with a two-run, go-ahead single to right field. Another groundout plated the fourth run of the inning and an RBI infield single by Kai Wagner capped the rally. Gibson, meanwhile, allowed only three hits over his five innings of work as he struck out three batters. UNC starter Murphy Gienger allowed six runs on nine hits while striking out four and walking three in four innings. Arlen Peters was the first of six Jackrabbit pitchers in the game and surrendered three earned runs on five hits in three-plus innings. He walked two and struck out one. Alex Clemons fanned three batters in two scoreless innings. SDSU finished with a 12-10 advantage in hits as Sintek and Grawe each tallied three hits and Jirschele added two.

Top of the order key as SDSU outscores SMSU
BROOKINGS, S.D. (KELO) — South Dakota State shook off a slow start by scoring in five consecutive innings to post a 12-10 victory over Southwest Minnesota State in nonconference baseball action Tuesday afternoon at Erv Huether Field. With their second consecutive victory, the Jackrabbits improved to 4-16 overall. SMSU dropped to 12-7 on the season. SMSU jumped out to a 4-0 lead, taking advantage of a Jackrabbit error in the top of the first inning to score three times on a home run by Carter Lang, then adding a run in the second when Brock Woitalla singled and later came home on a wild pitch. The Jackrabbits got on the board with a three-run bottom of the third inning. Freshmen Keagen Jirschle tripled and Nicholas Werk walked in front of an RBI double by leadoff man Carter Sintek. Owen Siegert then stepped to the plate and delivered a two-run single to left field. The Mustangs countered with a two-run double by Jared Cortez in the top of the fourth, but SDSU gained a 9-6 lead by scoring the next six runs over a three-inning stretch. The top of the Jackrabbit order did most of the damage with Siegert singling in a run in the fourth and adding an RBI groundout as part of a four-run fifth frame. The fifth-inning outburst began with back-to-back walks to Dayton Franke and Mason Lang before Werk singled to right field and Sintek came through with a two-run single. Luke Luskey capped the rally with an RBI single that plated Sintek. A solo home run by Adam Benes, his first of the season, made it a 9-6 game. SMSU once again responded, tying the game at 9-all with a three-run seventh. Cortez hit his second RBI double of the game after a leadoff double by Levi Lambert and pinch-hitter Tyler Froland greeted Jackrabbit reliever Dylan Driessen with an RBI double of his own. The tying run scored on an RBI groundout off the bat of Carter Lang. The Jackrabbits regained the lead in the home half of the seventh when Werk and Sintek drew back-to-back walks to start the frame and Siegert loaded the bases with a bunt single. Luskey then lined a single to left field that brought home both Werk and Sintek. Siegert scored what would be the final SDSU run of the game on a groundout by Bryce Ronken. An error allowed SMSU to score in the top of the eighth, but Driessen prevented any further damage as he racked up six strikeouts in his three innings of work to earn the victory. The Mustangs finished with a 12-11 advantage in hits as Cortez and Woitalla each went 3-for-5 on the day. Siegert was 3-for-5 with four RBIs to pace SDSU at the plate, with Sintek and Luskey each going 2-for-4 with three RBIs. Eight different pitchers went to the mound for the Mustangs, combining for 10 walks and 10 strikeouts in the contest. UP NEXTThe Jackrabbits are scheduled to return to Summit League play with a three-game series Friday through Sunday at North Dakota State. First pitch for Friday's opener is slated for 3 p.m. at Newman Outdoor Field in Fargo, North Dakota. NOTES SDSU leads the all-time series, 56-30 Tuesday's game marked the first meeting between the two programs since 2006 Siegert extended his hitting streak to six games and also took over the team lead with six stolen bases after swiping two bags on Tuesday Sintek has hit safely in 17 of the 19 games he has played this season Luskey drove in 10 runs during the Jackrabbits' four-game homestand to raise his team-leading total to 24 Benes batted .500 (6-for-12) with seven RBIs on the homestand after starting the season 1-for-20 at the plate Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
