GREELEY, Colo. – Northern Colorado baseball delivered a thrilling finish on Saturday, rallying for an 11–10 walk-off victory in 10 innings over North Dakota State in a back-and-forth offensive showdown.

The Bears overcame momentum swings, including a late Bison push that tied the game late before sealing the win with a run in the bottom of the 10th at Jackson Field.

Offensively, UNC erupted for 18 hits, highlighted by a massive six-run third inning that flipped early pressure into a commanding surge. Northern Colorado also added key insurance swings in the seventh and came through in extras.

Jake Bullard paced the offense with a standout performance, going 3-for-4 with three RBI's, consistently delivering in high-leverage spots for the Bears and bringing in the game wining run. Brandon Sanchez also came up big with a pair of doubles and two RBI's, while Sam Pease finished 2-for-4 with two RBI's to help keep the lineup rolling throughout the afternoon.

Jaden Stone added three hits and three runs scored including a lead off triple in the 10th. Logan Pruski reached base multiple times while adding two hits and two walks. Brett Barber and Ethan Mooser each chipped in RBI as part of the deep and balanced UNC attack.

On the mound, Northern Colorado used a collective effort before Brady Hudson delivered the decisive performance out of the bullpen. Hudson earned the win after 2.1 scoreless innings, striking out three and shutting down North Dakota State in the late frames.

ON DECK: Northern Colorado will look to carry that momentum into tomorrow's game as they aim to secure the series over the Bison.
