Minot State Baseball hits the road Tuesday looking to bounce back as the. Beavers take on Jamestown in a conference doubleheader in Miles City, Montana.  First pitch is set for 1:30 p.m. as Minot State enters at 10-15 overall (5-10 NSIC), while Jamestown comes in at 6-19 on the season (1-11 NSIC).  

The Beavers are coming off a challenging series against No. 15 Augustana.  After dropping the series finale 6-2 on Sunday, Minot State showed flashes offensively, with senior Jake Orthner driving in a run while continuing to be a steady presence at the plate.  Freshman Thomas Mitchell also provided a bright spot out of the bullpen, tossing a scoreless inning and keeping the Vikings in check late.  

Despite the loss, Minot State demonstrated its ability to respond throughout the weekend.  In Saturday's doubleheader split, the Beavers bounced back from a tough game-one defeat with an impressive 10-6 victory.  Trailing 6-1 late, Minot State erupted for six runs in the seventh inning to take control, highlighted by timely hitting from Orthner and a home run from junior Colton Bagshaw.  Senior Connor Meldrim delivered a strong outing in relief to secure the win, helping the Beavers even the twin bill against a nationally ranked opponent.  

That comeback win remains a key takeaway heading into Wednesday, as the Beavers look to carry that offensive momentum and capitalize in conference play.  Jamestown enters the match up at 6-19.  The Beavers will aim to take advantage of the opportunity and gain ground in the conference standings.
