JAMESTOWN\u00a0 (uj.edu)– The University of Jamestown scored twice in three of the first four innings, then broke the game open with a four-run fifth to defeat Concordia-Moorhead College 12-2 at Jack Brown Stadium Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The game was called with two outs in the bottom of eighth due to the 10-run rule.<\/p>\n
Jamestown improves to 29-14 overall while the NCAA Division II Cobbers fall to 11-18.<\/p>\n
The Jimmies will travel to Crete, Neb., for a pair of doubleheaders against Doane to close out the regular season. UJ, currently 17-7 in the Great Plains Athletic Conference, needs to win two of four against the 10-14 Tigers to clinch home-field advantage for the GPAC postseason tournament. The top two teams in the GPAC will host a four-team, double-elimination tournament beginning on May 2, with the winner of each bracket playing a single nine-inning championship game on May 7 at the home of the higher seed.<\/p>\n
Jaden Yackley<\/a> (SR\/Lynnwood, Wash.), Tanner Roundy<\/a> (SR\/Henderson, NV), Lincoln Trujillo<\/a> (JR\/Cheyenne, WY), and Matt Meraz<\/a> (JR\/Aurora, CO) all drove in a pair of runs for UJ, which finished the game with 10 hits off of four Cobber pitchers.<\/p>\n Jamestown led 6-2 as they came to bat in the bottom of the fifth. Roundy led off the inning and promptly stole second base, one of his three steals on the night. Drake Pilat<\/a> (SR\/Winnipeg, MB, Canada) also walked and moved to second on the back end of a double steal to put runners at second and third. Trujillo drilled a double to left-center field to plate two runs, then Meraz homered to deep right for a 10-2 lead.<\/p>\n Chase Hacker<\/a> (JR\/Millcreek, WA) came home on a groundout in the bottom of the sixth to make it 11-2, then Jaden Yackley<\/a>‘s pinch-hit double in the bottom of the eighth scored Cameron Martin<\/a> (JR\/Seattle, WA) with the game-ending run.<\/p>\n Austin Pesicka<\/a> (JR\/West Linn, OR) (3-1) pitched two scoreless innings to get the win. Pesicka came on in relief of Jimmie starter Joe Spradlin<\/a> (SR\/Helena, MT), who worked the first four innings. Spradlin allowed two runs, one earned, on two hits while striking out four. Cade Torgerson<\/a> (FR\/Billings, MT) worked a scoreless seventh and Andrew Reed<\/a> (JR\/Woodinville, WA) struck out two of the three batters he faced in the ninth.<\/p>\n Alex Erickson (0-1) took the loss for Concordia-Moorhead. He gave up six runs (four earned) on three hits in 3 2\/3 innings, walking five and striking out two. Cobber pitchers walked 11 batters in the game, with eight of them eventually scoring.<\/p>\n Roundy’s three stolen bases put him at\u00a032 for the season, one off of the single-season record of 33 set by Scott Moen in 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tuesday JAMESTOWN\u00a0 (uj.edu)– The University of Jamestown scored twice in three of the first four innings, then broke the game open with a four-run fifth to defeat Concordia-Moorhead College 12-2 at Jack Brown Stadium Tuesday night.
