ABERDEEN, S.D. – Northern State used a pair of late rallies to nip Valley City State in a pair of games, 10-9 and 13-12. The two teams combined for 59 hits and 44 runs in the two games as the Wolves improve to 14-17 overall and the Vikings fall to 14-19 overall.
Northern State let a five run slip away, then trailed by as many as two runs before making scoring three runs in the last two innings to get the win 10-9. Wes Fisbeck singled home Valdie Magstadt in a tie game in the bottom of the seventh to get the win.
Charlie Woida started the game off great as he pitched three hitless innings and had two homers in his first two at bats. Woida gave up four earned runs over four innings, but a miss played ball in right field and an infield error led to the six runs given up.
Matt Reich came in for two innings came in and gave up two runs before Joe Dinger finished off the seventh inning giving up no hits as he picks up his third win of the season.
Game two had even more offense than the first as the two team combined for 34 hits and 25 runs. The Wolves were led by Wes Fisbeck who went 4 for 4 in the game with two homers, four runs scored and four RBIs. Joel Backous went 3 for 4 with a homer, two runs scored and two RBIs, while Adam Kampsen went 2 for 2 with a homer, four RBIs and a run scored. Mike Murdy also pulled out of a slump as he went 3 for 4 with a homer, two runs scored and an RBI.
Jarod Olson got the nod in game two as he went three innings, giving up five runs on five hits. He struck out two and walked two of the 16 batters he faced. Joe Dinger picked up his second win of the day as he came in the fourth inning in relief. Although he gave up seven runs (five earned) on 12 hits, Dinger was able to hold on to improve to 4-1 on the season. Dinger went into the seventh inning with a four run lead, which he would use, as he gave up three runs before forcing the final batter to ground into the 5-4-3 double play to end the game and give the Wolves the one run win.
The Wolves take on the University of Mary tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 p.m. at Fossum Field.
