Softball
Minot State 2 Jamestown 1
Jamestown 10 Briar Cliff 6
ABERDEEN, S.D. (UJ) — The University of Jamestown softball team split a pair of games Saturday to conclude the first weekend of the Fairfield Inn & Suites PC Dome Classic, hosted by Presentation College.
The Jimmies lost a close 2-1 game to NCAA Division 2 Minot State University in the opener, then rallied for a 10-6 win over Briar Cliff (Iowa) University in Saturday’s second game.
Jamestown, now 4-2 this season, will return to the PC Dome next Friday and Saturday for four more games.
Minot State 2, Jamestown 1
Kat Miska (JR/Pequot Lakes, Minn.) had a second strong outing in the circle for UJ, striking out 10 and allowing just one earned run over six innings. However, the Jimmie offense just managed one run in a loss to the Beavers.
Kassi Ward (JR/Olympia, Wash.) homered leading off the top of the second to account for Jamestown’s only run. Ward had two of the Jimmies’ five hits off of Minot State’s Trinity Valentine.
MSU tied the game in the bottom of the fourth, then plated the go-ahead and eventual winning run an inning later.
It was the first meeting between the two teams since May 7, 2011.
Jamestown 10, Briar Cliff 6
A seven-run fourth inning proved to be the difference for the Jimmies in a 10-6 win over GPAC rival Briar Cliff.
UJ sent 10 batters to the plate against four Charger pitchers. Katie Reisdorfer (JR/Fresno, Calif.) doubled twice in the inning, and Morgan Geiszler (JR/Horace, N.D.) also doubled, driving in a pair of runs. Santina ZIto also had a two-run single, Gracie Fisher (FR/Bemidji, Minn.) drew a bases-loaded walk, and a Briar Cliff error allowed another run to score.
Down 8-1, the Chargers got two runs back in the top of the fifth, then added three more in the top of the sixth to make it 8-6 Jimmies.
Sydney Prussia (JR/Detroit Lakes, Minn.)’s triple in the bottom of the sixth drove in Zito, who singled earlier, then a Morgan Neiles single allowed Prussia to cross the plate, giving UJ a 10-6 lead.
Ann-Marie Crandlemire (SO/Sicamous, BC) retired the side in order in the top of the seventh to close out the win. Lucy Sinkkonen (FR/Cloquet, Minn.) (1-0) got the win in her first collegiate start, pitching around four walks and six hits in five innings.
Prussia, Zito, Reisdorfer, and Morgan Geiszler had two hits each. Fisher, Mariah Wick (JR/Jamestown, N.D.), Julia Byrne (SO/Andover, Minn.), and Kaydence Alvey (FR/Caldwell, Idaho) also had hits for UJ, which matched a season high with 13 hits. Geiszler stole three bases and Wick swiped a pair.
The win snapped a four-game losing streak to the Chargers dating back to 2012.
Jamestown 7 Midland 3
(UJ) Four goals in a span of nine minutes and 21 seconds lifted the University of Jamestown hockey team to a 7-3 win over Midland (Neb.) University Saturday night at John L. Wilson Arena.
The win salvaged a split of the weekend series and improved the Jimmies’ record to 12-8-4.
Midland opened the scoring at 7:36 of the first on a goal by Ondrej Blaha. The Warrior lead lasted just over nine minutes until Vladislav Zamzhytski (SR/Minsk, Belarus) took a Hunter Maximnuk (FR/Heritage Point, Alberta) pass and drew the Jimmies level on a blistering stick-side slap shot from just inside the blue line.
Blaha tallied his second of the game 2:03 into the second period, then Aidan Potas (SO/Fargo, N.D.) tied the game at 2-2 with a power play goal at 13:21 from Jason Richter (SR/Kimberley, British Columbia) and Tyler Chavez-Leech (SR/Red Deer, Alberta). Richter later found Greg Susinski (FR/Calgary, Alberta) as UJ converted another power play opportunity, making it 3-2 at the 17:16 mark.
Just seven seconds into the third, Midland’s Ryan Donovan tied the game at three. Jordon Kromm (FR/Calgary, Alberta) began the Jamestown goal bonanza at 1:29 of the third, assisted by Carter Johnson (JR/Meeteetse, Wyo.) and Susinski.
Jake Huculak (FR/Jasper, Alberta) notched back-to-back goals, first a shorthanded marker at 6:01, then a 5-on-3 power play goal at 10:35 which was set up by Reid Wilson (FR/Castlegar, British Columbia) and Andrew Clark (FR/Spokane, Wash.). Fifteen seconds later, with the Jimmies enjoying a 5-on-4 advantage, Wilson lit the lamp courtesy of Richter and Chavez-Leech.
Both teams combined for 34 penalties totaling 142 minutes, resulting in 12 power play chances for UJ and 11 for Midland.
Tyson Brouwer (SR/Lethbridge, Alberta) stopped 38 of the 41 shots he faced while the Warriors’ Jaden Gardner had 35 saves on 42 shots.
The Jimmies will host Minot State on Friday at 7 p.m.
