Utah Valley State at Cadwell Park in Mitchell

[89rabbit]

Up next for our surging Jackrabbits (14-12 on the year) is a visit by the Wolverines.  As I am sure you recall we took 2 of 3 from them at their place.  Hopefully we can sweep them at Sioux Falls Stadium!  The game will be on the Jackrabbit Baseball Radio network and internet.

Sounds like there is talk of the games possibly moving north to Fargo this weekend to escape a possible blizzard down in the southeastern part of South Dakota.

Weird, yes. The storm is forecasted to hit along I-90 and south of I-90 with it tappering off rapidly as you move north. Right now anywhere from Brookings south is in the target area, with the bulls-eye in Northeastern Nebraska, Northwestern Iowa, and around Union county. Time will tell as it is still 3-4 days out.

SDSU baseball coming to Cadwell

Joel Reinesch The Daily Republic

In the last three weeks, the South Dakota State baseball team has been able to squeeze in just five games.

Head coach Reggie Christiansen was starting to get desperate.

“We needed a place to play,” said Christiansen, whose NCAA Division I Jacks actually play Dakota Wesleyan at Cadwell Park on Tuesday afternoon. “Because I’m pretty good friends with Adam (Neisius) at Dakota Wesleyan, he was nice enough to get us in contact with the people in Mitchell.”

And so it went for Christiansen and the Jacks, who will open a three-day swing at Cadwell Park this afternoon against fellow NCAA Division I Utah Valley State.

Game time for the free-admission, nine-inning game is 3 p.m.

The two teams also will play one, nine-inning game starting at noon on both Saturday and Sunday.

“We have snow on the ground here and Sioux Falls has snow,” said Christiansen, whose team actually is scheduled to play the University of Minnesota in Sioux Falls next week. “Utah Valley State was already going to fly out, so there wasn’t much we could do about the situation.”

So Christiansen called Neisius, who was more than willing to make the connections with Chuck Jones, who oversees the Cadwell Park complex for the City, and the three-game stand was booked.  .  .  .  (read more)

BYU/UVSC roundup 4/14

Daily Herald
Mitchell, S.D., -- South Dakota State jumped out to an early four run lead and never looked back to win the series opener over Utah Valley State 10-2 on Friday.

The Wolverines had a chance score first in the top of the first when leadoff hitter Tyler Garretson singled and stole second. But that chance was squandered when the next three batters failed to advance Garretson past second base.

In the bottom of the inning, the Jacks got a bases loaded single from Nick Adams to put the first two runs of the game on the board. Two batters later, Cal Lewis singled to drive in two more runs and push the lead to 4-0.

SDSU eventually pushed the lead to 8-0 before the Wolverines were finally able to get on the board when Austin Heaps doubled home Ryan Jones in the sixth inning. Heaps then came around to score when Josh Hinckley followed him with another double.

The Jacks added single run in the sixth on another Lewis single before the SDSU senior capped his impressive day with a solo home run in the eighth. On the day Lewis finished 4-for-4 with four RBI and three runs scored. . . . (read more)

SDSU Clinches Series With 8-4 Win Over Wolverines
Wolverines outhit Jacks but can't come up with big hit

April 14, 2007

Mitchell, South Dakota - Utah Valley jumped out to an early lead, but South Dakota State scored seven consecutive runs during the middle innings on its way to an 8-4 win over the Wolverines. With the win, SDSU has won the first two of the three-game set with the series finale coming tomorrow at 11am MT.

Jace Brinkerhoff was 2-for-3 on the day and scored twice while Eli Slesk, Derrick Thomas and Keiki Albino also had two hits each. The Wolverines outhit the Jacks 13-11 but stranded nine runners and were thrown out on the basepaths twice.

Nick Adams had three hits and Tim Hanigan had two hits and drove in a pair for SDSU, who have now won four straight games.

It was a pitcher's duel early between UV starter and South Dakota native Dan Christensen and Caleb Thielbar. Neither team could get anything going offensively until the top of the fifth when the Wolverines played small ball to get on the board. . . . (read more)
