LEADING OFF
Northern Colorado dropped four games to South Dakota State over the weekend but two of the four went into extra-innings.
Friday starter Dylan Bowers recorded a career-high 11 strikeouts against the Jackrabbits.
Reliever Iain Isdale continues to impress early in his freshmen season. The Parker, Colorado native pitched two shutout innings against SDSU. The righty has only given up one earned run in his two appearances thus far.
The Bears' sure-handed catcher Josh Glenn was a staple behind the plate last weekend. Not only does Glenn lead UNC in batting average (.476), he also sniped a season-high two runners trying to steal in game two of Saturday's doubleheader versus South Dakota State.
For the second consecutive week, Northern Colorado will get a preview of a future Summit League opponent with North Dakota State in town.
Josh Torpey, Dylan Day, Eric Ma and Shane Hoodman all made their debuts on the mound last weekend.
The Bears' team batting average of .293 leads the Western Athletic Conference through two weekends of baseball.
Oral Roberts transfer Jacob Salim has yet to give up an earned run in two starts as a Bear.
In his first two plate appearances in the Blue and Gold, Jacob Banister was hit by a pitch and walked, coming around to score once.
Head coach Carl Iwasaki remains just three wins away from 200 career victories at Northern Colorado. It would make him the fourth coach to do so at UNC.
SCOUTING NORTH DAKOTA STATE
The Bison were tabbed to finish third in the Summit League in 2021. NDSU last made the tournament in 2014.
Senior Shortstop Bennett Hostetler and pitcher Parker Harm were each named to the Summit League Watch List. Hostetler played in 17 games a season ago, leading the Bison with two home runs. Harm went 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in nine innings of work.
NDSU has won two series this season, taking two out of three from Western Kentucky and sweeping three games against Saint Louis.
A LOOK AHEAD
Northern Colorado heads out on the road to open up WAC play with a trip to Riverside, California to face Cal Baptist.
