Bears battle Bison to 11-inning thriller
5/14/2022 8:56:00 PM | Baseball
Head coach Carl Iwasaki's men went right to business in the opening frame. Craig Kenny and Josh Glenn each delivered RBI singles to put the Blue and Gold in front.
NDSU struck back quickly, drawing level with two runs of their own in the bottom half.
Caden Wagner and Co. had other plans.
Wagner's double in the second inning, along with a Shaydon Kubo forcing an error and another single from Glenn, Northern Colorado put a four-spot on the board to retake the lead, 6-2.
Wagner's extra-base effort was all part of arguably his best day in a Bear uniform. The Sophomore notched career-highs in both hits (4) and RBI (6).
A run in the fourth didn't bother starting pitcher Dylan Day, who carved out 4.2 innings of work with a strikeout. Meanwhile, his offense was clicking on all cylinders.
Northern Colorado posted three more runs in the top of the fifth inning another RBI single from Craig Kenny and Wagner's second double of the afternoon.
The Bison weren't about to go down quietly, though. Two runs in the fifth, four in the seventh and the tying effort in the ninth gave the fans in Fargo free baseball.
Logan Chase, who had come on in the eighth inning, had NDSU on lockdown for most of his appearance. The senior struck out two, allowing a mere two hits in his 3.0 innings of work.
With tensions mounting, the home side was able to squeak the run it needed across in the 11th inning, closing an over four-hour affair in favor of the Bison, 13-12.
