LAST TIME OUT
The Golden Bears fell in last week's doubleheader, 2-1, to the St. Cloud State Huskies in Sioux City, Iowa and Wayne, Nebraska. The Huskies and the Golden Bears split Friday's doubleheader, as the SCSU claimed game one and CSP claimed game two in Sioux City, Iowa.

CSP responded with a 6-5 win in the nine-inning thriller. Strong hitting from Mason Nadolney, Bryce Nelson and Jaden Werner gave the Golden Bears an offensive edge behind the plate, while Jonah Lewis (2-3) provided 5.0 innings of one-run ball on the mound to secure his second winning performance of the season and Eric Lundell was credited with his second save of the season.
 
The series finale would go to the Huskies. SCSU jumped out to a 4-0 lead, holding the Golden Bears out of the hit column for the opening five innings. CSP rallied off three runs in the top of the ninth to take a 7-5 lead, but the Huskies secured an 8-7 victory in walk-off fashion.
