Box Score

MOORHEAD, Minn. – Saint John's baseball returned to the win column with a 3-1 victory over Concordia on Friday, April 9, in Moorhead.

The Johnnies and Cobbers were scheduled to play a doubleheader on Wednesday (April 7) but the games were postponed and rescheduled for Thursday, and then Friday, only to have the doubleheader changed to a single nine-inning game.

Sophomore second baseman Owen Dauk (Apple Valley, Minn./Eastview) gave the Johnnies (11-4, 1-3 MIAC) a 2-0 lead with a two-run homer, the first of his collegiate career, in the top of the fourth inning.

Concordia (7-5, 2-2 MIAC) answered with a single run, a walk and RBI double with one out, in the bottom half.

Junior catcher Ethan Roe (Golden Valley, Minn./Blake) added an insurance run with a one-out homer to straight away center in the top of the ninth inning. The blast was his eighth of the season.

Senior Nick Penick (Cold Spring, Minn./Rocori) allowed one run on five hits and struck out six. He is now 3-0 with a 2.96 ERA, a .200 opponent batting average and 26 strikeouts in 27.1 innings pitched this season.

Sophomore Alex Otto (Monticello, Minn.) gave up a single and struck out three in two shutout innings to earn his first collegiate save.

Sophomore designated hitter Max Nyrop (Alameda, Minn.) went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk to lead the Johnnies' bats.

CC's Ty Syverson entered the game with a 4-0 record, 0.92 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 19.2 innings. The quality pitching on both sides contributed to the snappy game in 1:55.

The Johnnies have now won each of the last seven meetings with the Cobbers, though eight (6-2 SJU record) of the last 12 matchups were decided by two runs or less.

SJU visits St. Thomas (10-3, 5-0 MIAC) for a 1 p.m. doubleheader on Saturday, April 10, in St. Paul, and returns home to host the Tommies for a nine-inning game at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 11, at Becker Park.
