MINOT, N.D. – The Minot State baseball team hoped to secure an upset win Sunday afternoon against No. 2 St. Cloud State in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference action, but the Huskies once again validated their national ranking closing out the four-game weekend series with a sweep.

SCSU took game one, 7-0, and game two, 12-2.

Similar to Saturday's first game, St. Cloud was propelled to a game one win Sunday afternoon much in part due to a standout starting pitching performance, this time from Miks Shledon.

Sheldon limited the Minot State offense to just two hits on his way to his eighth win of the season. Nicholas Hammerl (Sr., SS/2B, West Peoria, Ill.) and Jared Young (Fr., 2B, Prince George, British Columbia) accounted for the two Minot State hits, both singles in the top of the first inning.

Sheldon retired 19 straight batters to end the game.

SCSU scored one or more runs in all but one of its innings at the plate. Four different players recorded multi-hit games for the Huskies.

Sunday's game two produced the Beavers first lead in the series as MSU went up 2-1 in the top of the third inning, but the lead was short lived. St. Cloud countered in the bottom of the third with two runs of its own taking a 3-2 into the fourth inning.

Five more runs for the Huskies in the bottom of the fourth all but solidified a win for SCSU in the series finale as they went on to win, 12-2.

Young recorded the Beavers only multi-hit game going 2-for-4 in game two. Paul Vogelsang (So., C, Regina, Saskatchewan) and Micah Holmen (Jr., 1B/3B, Minot, N.D.) each recorded an RBI.

Minot State (11-28, 8-20) heads to Minnesota-Crookston this Wednesday for its final road series of the season before closing out the regular season at home with a four-game series against Minnesota-Duluth. The Beavers will honor their five seniors in between the doubleheader on May 2.

"We've got to come into the Crookston games on Wednesday and be willing to work for it," Minot State head coach Brock Weppler said. "We can't expect them to roll over because they're not going to. We've got to come out and attack, attack, attack."
