Lincoln Trujillo<\/a> (SR\/Cheyenne, WY) was 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs and four RBI while Dirk Eymundson<\/a> (SO\/Parkland County, AB, Canada), Chase Hacker<\/a> (SR\/Millcreek, WA), and Ben Pedigo<\/a> (JR\/Olympia, WA) also homered as the University of Jamestown baseball team opened its fall schedule with a 13-5 win over Valley City State (N.D.) University Wednesday evening at Jack Brown Stadium.<\/p>\n Trujillo’s second long ball of the game, a three-run shot, came in the Jimmies’ five-run fourth inning that saw them take a 7-3 lead.<\/p>\n The Vikings scored single runs in the fifth and sixth innings to get within 7-5, but Pedigo connected on a three-run homer to left to extend UJ’s advantage to 10-5.<\/p>\n VCSU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first against Jimmie starter Andy Reed<\/a> (SR\/Woodinville, WA).\u00a0A groundout by JT Reed and a sacrifice fly by Alex Guiterrez accounted for the first two runs. Reed left after pitching 3 1\/3 innings and allowing three runs on six hits, walking two and striking out two.<\/p>\n Mitchell Dennis<\/a> (FR\/Okotoks, AB, Canada) (1-0) earned the win with 2 2\/3 innings of relief. He allowed two runs on three hits, striking out four and walking one.<\/p>\n Aaron Pugh<\/a> (SR\/Boissevain, MB, Canada) worked a scoreless seventh and eighth before Austin Pesicka<\/a> (SR\/West Linn, OR) needed just 12 pitches to finish the ninth.<\/p>\n Eymundson, Hacker and Pedigo all finished with a pair of hits. Kendall Yackley<\/a> (SO\/Lynnwood, WA), Tayler Cullen<\/a> (JR\/Santa Rosa, Calif.), Matt Meraz<\/a> (SR\/Aurora, CO), and Dylan Dudley<\/a> (JR\/Cottage Grove, OR) also recorded hits.<\/p>\n Chase Feller was 3-for-5 to lead the Vikings. Marcus Niemann (0-1) took the loss, giving up four runs on two hits in a third of an inning. Each of the seven VCSU pitchers the Jimmies faced allowed at least one run.<\/p>\n Next up for the Jimmies is a single nine-inning game against Mayville State (N.D.) University on Tuesday, September 17. First pitch is set for 4 p.m.<\/p>\n NOTES:<\/strong> Trujillo homered twice in a game for the second time in his career (April 20, 2019 vs. Morningside)…UJ improved to 52-3 against VCSU in their last 55 meetings…Reed made his first career start as a Jimmie after 22 appearances out of the bullpen in the spring…Jamestown is now 24-4 in fall games since beginning fall ball in September 2016…Wednesday’s five home runs were the most in a game for the Jimmies since they clubbed six in an 11-9 win over Morningside on April 20, 2019…Pugh’s outing was his longest scoreless stint as a Jimmie.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Ryan Mikkelson, University of Jamestown Sports Information Director Lincoln Trujillo (SR\/Cheyenne, WY) was 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs and four RBI while Dirk Eymundson (SO\/Parkland County, AB, Canada), Chase Hacker (SR\/Millcreek, WA), and Ben Pedigo (JR\/Olympia, WA) also homered as the University of Jamestown baseball team opened […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":98363,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-179781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=179781"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179781\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":179782,"href":"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179781\/revisions\/179782"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/98363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=179781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=179781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=179781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
