Already in Parkville, Missouri, the Minot State Baseball team will compete in a doubleheader against Winona State tomorrow, which will be opening its NSIC schedule, beginning at 1:30 p.m.  The Beavers enter the match up with confidence after a strong 2-0 sweep earlier this week, powered by a combined seven home runs and solid pitching performances.  

Minot State's offense has been explosive to start the season, highlighted by senior Oscar Pegg's walk-off home run in extra innings and a multi-homer day that included contributions from Vinnie Gates, Jessen West, Jake Orthner, Noah Madas, and Nate Hutchison.  Pegg delivered in a clutch moment with his game-winning blast, while Gates and Hutchison each showcased extra-base power throughout the double header.  West continues to be a steady presence in the lineup, adding multiple hits and driving in runs in key spots.  

The Beavers have shown depth throughout the order, with multiple players recording multi-hit performances and every starter reaching base in their most recent win.  Minot State has also demonstrated speed on the base paths, stealing eight bases in one game, adding another dimension to an already productive offense. 

On the mound, the Beavers have received strong starts from Wyatt Toth and quality bullpen innings, including a win from Ayden Sauerbrei.  Jacob Thompason also provided a strikeout-heavy outing, giving the Beavers stability on the staff.  As they prepare for Winona State, consistency in pitching and continued execution with runners in scoring position will be key.
