MITCHELL, S.D (uj.edu)\u00a0 — Matt Meraz<\/a> (JR\/Aurora, CO) went 3-for-3 and drove in three runs, including the game-winner in the bottom of the seventh, as the University of Jamestown baseball team defeated Dakota Wesleyan University 4-3 Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Jimmies took three of four games from the Tigers and improve to 18-10 overall and 8-4 in Great Plains Athletic Conference action. Dakota Wesleyan falls to 11-16 overall and 5-7 in the GPAC.<\/p>\n

DWU’s Ethan Davis and UJ’s Tanner Roundy<\/a> (SR\/Henderson, NV) traded zeroes on the scoreboard as the game remained scoreless until the bottom of the sixth.<\/p>\n

Grant Okawa<\/a> (JR\/Mississauga, ON) singled with one out, then one batter later Meraz homered to make it 2-0 in favor of the Jimmies. Jaden Yackley<\/a> (SR\/Lynnwood, Wash.) doubled in another run as UJ pushed the lead to 3-0.<\/p>\n

The Tigers got back-to-back singles from Drew Demers and Chandler Bakley to open the seventh against Roundy, then Reed Harter connected on a three-run home run to tie the game. Joe Harris<\/a> (SO\/Recluse, WY) (3-1) relieved Roundy and struck out the side to end the DWU rally.<\/p>\n

In the Jamestown seventh, Roundy led off with a single and advanced to second on a passed ball. Drake Pilat<\/a> (SR\/Winnipeg, MB, Canada) singled, moving Roundy to third. Grant Okawa<\/a> grounded out but allowed pinch-runner Ben Pedigo<\/a> (SO\/Olympia, WA) to move up a base. Meraz then came through with a single to bring home Roundy and give the Jimmies their third straight victory and sixth in their last seven games.<\/p>\n

Pilat, Roundy, and Okawa all went 2-for-4. Chase Hacker<\/a> (JR\/Millcreek, WA), Braxton Hewitt<\/a> (FR\/Carrington, ND), Brock Anderson<\/a> (SO\/Cheyenne, WY), and Jared Bentley<\/a> (JR\/Washougal, WA) also had hits for Jamestown.<\/p>\n
