He fanned eight batters and allowed just four hits before exiting.

Senior Bryan Jamieson (RHP, Maplewood, Minn.) relieved Kalis and got the three outs needed to head the bottom half of the frame. The scored remained 4-3 heading into the top of the seventh and the ball was handed to Jamieson. He didn’t mess around in the inning, as the Marauders went 1-2-3 and the he earned his second save of the season, picking-up three Ks in two innings pitched.

Senior Nick Jelacie (OF, Brainerd, Minn.) was the only Beaver with two hits, going 2-for-3 and two runs scored. Freshman Eric Kallevig (OF, Lino Lakes, Minn.) went 1-for-3 with two RBI, his first multi-RBI game in the green and white.

BSU could only muster four hits in game two, two of them coming off the bat of senior Colton Smith (OF, Waddell, Ariz.). Senior Ryan Gebur (RHP, New Prague, Minn.) suffered his fifth loss of the season, falling to 1-5. He went 4.2 innings, allowing four runs on six hits.
