Scoring multiple runs in four innings this afternoon, St. Thomas defeated South Dakota State in game one, 11-6.

Game Two – L, 4-3
For the first time this series, South Dakota State opened scoring in game two of the doubleheader.
After the Jackrabbits scored one, the Tommies quickly responded as Brigs Richartz recorded his third home run of the season to tie the game in the top of the second frame.
Capitalizing on South Dakota State errors, St. Thomas added two runs in the fifth inning to take its first lead of the game. However, South Dakota State responded, scoring the equalizing run in the bottom of the inning.
Both teams worked two scoreless innings, until the Jackrabbits added one in the bottom of the eighth. Unable to comeback in the final at bat, the Tommies fell by a score of 4-3.
