OFFENSIVE HOT STREAK CONTINUES IN WIN OVER BC

For the second day in a row, the South Dakota State baseball team recorded a season high in hits. And for the second consecutive day, the Jackrabbits won a game via the 10-run rule, downing Briar Cliff, 13-2, in seven innings Wednesday afternoon at Erv Huether Field.

In notching their ninth win in their last 11 games, the Jacks improved to 15-17 overall. Briar Cliff dropped to 24-15 on the season.

The Jackrabbits once again got out of the gates quickly, scoring three times in the bottom of the first inning. SDSU strung four of its 16 hits in the game together all with two outs as Derek Hackman and Dawson Parry each singled before scoring on Ryan McDonald's double to the left-center gap. McDonald later scored on a base hit by Nic Nelson.

SDSU tacked on five runs in the second inning. Jordan Sagedahl plated Reece Anderson with a double for the first run and Luke Ira added a double to drive in Sagedahl. Parry later stepped to the plate and clubbed a three-run home run to left that pushed the lead to 8-0.

Parry's home run was his second in as many games and his sixth of the season.

Briar Cliff got on the board against SDSU starter Drew Beazley in the third inning on an RBI double by Connor Lange, but the Jackrabbits answered with a run in their half of the frame as Nelson doubled and scored on a groundout by Anderson.

SDSU would go on to score in five of its six trips to the plate, adding two runs in each of the fourth and sixth innings. Hackman, who was 3-for-4 and scored a team-high four runs in the game, connected on a two-run run homer for the fourth-inning runs, while Nelson forced in a run with a bases-loaded walk and Anderson drove in his second run of the game with his third hit of the contest in the sixth.

The Chargers' final run came on a solo homer by Quentin Evers in the top of the sixth.

Beazley struck out five, walked three and gave up two hits in his three innings on the mound. Four freshman pitchers — Jon Baker, Joe Husak, Reece Arbogast and Alex Clemons — each worked one inning for the Jackrabbits as the staff combined for 12 strikeouts on the afternoon.

UP NEXT
The Jackrabbits are idle this weekend and are scheduled to return to action next Tuesday (April 26) at Minnesota. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m. at Siebert Field on the U of M campus in Minneapolis.
