\"\"MOORHEAD, Minn.\u00a0 (UJ<\/a>) —\u00a0<\/strong>The University of Jamestown softball team held Minnesota State-Moorhead to two runs in a pair of games Wednesday, sweeping the NCAA Division II Dragons 4-1 and 9-1 in five innings.<\/p>\n

The Jimmies improve to 19-7 overall and return to GPAC play Saturday at College of Saint Mary (Neb.)<\/p>\n

Mariah Wick<\/a> (JR\/Jamestown, N.D.)’s bases-clearing double in the top of the fourth gave UJ a 4-0 lead in game one, and Jamestown went on to a 4-1 win. Kat Miska<\/a> (JR\/Pequot Lakes, Minn.) (9-1) pitched her ninth complete game of the season, striking out 11 while giving up just one run on five hits.<\/p>\n

The Jimmies loaded the bases in the top of the first with one out, and a Santina Zito<\/a> (SO\/Boise, Idaho) fielder’s choice scored Morgan Geiszler<\/a> (JR\/Horace, N.D.) for a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

With two outs in the fourth, Jenna Remenar<\/a> (FR\/Vancouver, Wash.) and Lauren Diemert<\/a> (FR\/West Fargo, N.D.) singled, and Geiszler walked to load the bases. Wick came through with a double to left field, scoring all three runners.<\/p>\n

Wick and Remenar each had two hits. Sydney Prussia<\/a> (JR\/Detroit Lakes, Minn.) doubled and Katie Reisdorfer<\/a> (JR\/Fresno, Calif.) had UJ’s other hit.<\/p>\n

After being kept off the scoreboard to start game two, UJ scored twice in the second and fourth innings, and put up four runs in the third to go ahead 8-1. A sac bunt by Megan Neiles<\/a> (FR\/Winnipeg, MB) and a Dragon fielding error accounted for the Jimmies’ first two runs.<\/p>\n

In the third inning, Mariah Wick<\/a> scored on an error, Gentrey Turin<\/a> (FR\/Sandy, Ore.) and Neiles singled in two more runs, and Julia Byrne<\/a> (SO\/Andover, Minn.) drove in another as UJ stretched their lead to 6-0.<\/p>\n

MSU-M got on the board with a single run in the bottom of the third to make it 6-1. In the top of the fourth, Neiles and Byrne had RBI singles to make it an 8-1 game. Morgan Geiszler<\/a> scored on a wild pitch in the top of the fifth for the final Jimmie run.<\/p>\n

Katie Merchant<\/a> (SO\/South Haven, Minn.) (7-3) went all five innings and surrendered one run on five hits, striking out three.<\/p>\n

Neiles, Byrne, Kassi Ward<\/a> (JR\/Olympia, Wash.), and Sydney Prussia<\/a> all finished with two hits. Molly Haley<\/a> (FR\/Atwater, Calif.) and Jenna Remenar<\/a> had the other Jimmie hits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
