MINOT, N.D. – Between the Minot State University and Wayne State College baseball teams 38 runs were scored in the single game played Sunday afternoon at Corbett Field, but the final score favored the visiting Wildcats 25-13.
 
WSC got off to a fast start scoring two runs in each of the first two innings and an eight-run fourth inning to go up 12-0. The Beavers responded in the fifth with a five-run inning to push their deficit back to seven runs.
 
The Wildcats kept posting big run innings, though with a four-run and eight-run inning in the sixth and seventh, respectively. In those innings Minot State was able to score eight runs as well, but could never close the lead, which ended at 12 after seven innings.
 
Throughout the game nine pitchers took the mound, including six from the home team. Each pitcher, from both teams, that pitched at least one inning allowed no fewer than three runs in their appearance.
 
In a day full of strong bats, Minot State was led by Conner Oliver (OF, Sr., Dayton, Nev.) who recorded four hits in five at bats while scoring two runs and driving in another two. Jordan Schulz (OF, Jr., Strasbourg, Saskatchewan) helped his team with five RBIs including a double to center field that cleared the loaded bases.
 
Both teams decided to play just one of the scheduled two games due to inclement weather.
 
Minot State will continue its home stand against Southwest Minnesota State on April 16 and 17 with doubleheaders each day. The games are scheduled to begin at 12 and 2:30 p.m. on both days.
