MiSU 10 – UIU 1
The Peacocks got on the scoreboard with a run in the second inning after a one-out single by Colton Janssen. A balk on a pickoff attempt pushed Janssen to second and Dominic Hillesheim hit an rbi-double to the gap in left center.
 
Minot State rallied with five runs in the top of the third sending nine to the plate. Four of the runs that scored were unearned after an error on a grounder that would have ended the inning. Sean Alp delivered the only earned run of the inning with an rbi-single, a second run scored on the error with two outs and then Sal Rodriguez knocked in three with a bases-clearing double. The Beavers added three more unearned runs in the fourth inning on three straight singles following a pair of infield errors and a groundout. Minot State got a leadoff double from Rodriguez in the fifth inning and later a two-run single off the bat of Jordan Schulz to push their advantage to 10-1.
 
Kendal Daniels (3-5) got the win for Minot State with 5 innings of work allowing just one run while scattering 7 hits. Aaron Kern came on in relief for the final two innings for the Beavers. At the plate, Schulz, Alp, Demary and Rodriguez all had two hits apiece.
 
Brett Fanning (6-3) suffered the loss in the game allowing 10 runs, only 3 were earned, on 10 hits. Jay Kiel threw 1.2 innings in relief and Sawyer Bawek got the final out.
 
MiSU 7 – UIU 6 (12 Inn.)
 
The Beavers struck for a run with two hits after a leadoff walk in the second inning. Geordie McDougall drove in a run with a fielder's choice to plate Wyatt Schlosser. Minot State added three runs in the third inning on four hits and a hit batsman. Schlosser and Rodriguez both picked up rbi-singles and McDougall drove in his second run with a double.
 
Upper Iowa threatened with a pair of singles by Zackary Cain and Colton Janssen with one out in the second, but the runners were stranded on base. In the fourth inning, the pair took it upon themselves to put Upper Iowa on the board. With one out, Cain tripled to the gap in right center and Janssen followed with a homerun to right cutting the margin to a pair of runs, 4-2.
 
The Beavers scored an unearned run in the fifth inning when a throw back into the field got away and turned a single into a scoring opportunity. Schlosser drove in the run with a sac fly into foul territory.
 
Emmett Kulick and Jacob Greco teamed up in the fifth to get the run back and return the margin to two runs, 5-3. Kulick singled and stole second to get into scoring position and Greco delivered with an rbi-single to left.
 
Minot State loaded the bases with one out thanks to a single, a double and a walk. Justin Demary hit a sac fly to left to send Caleb Fornshell to the plate and push the visitor's lead back to three, 6-3.
 
The Beavers were looking for more in the top of the eighth inning as they loaded the bases with no outs, but Upper Iowa turned an unconventional triple play to end the inning. A sharp grounder was gloved by Janssen at third; he stepped on the bag for the first out threw home where UIU caught the Beavers in a rundown for the second out. During the rundown the MiSU runner at second got mixed up and ran back to first where UIU was able to get the final out of the inning.
 
Upper Iowa got a run back in the bottom of the eighth on three singles including back-to-back hits by Janssen and Mitch Moser. Moser's single through the right side plated a Peacock run to pull the home team back within two, 6-4, heading into the ninth.
 
In the bottom of the ninth, Kulick was hit by a pitch, stole second and moved to third on a flyout. George doubled down the right field line to plate Kulick cutting the margin to one, 6-5. Greco followed with a single to right center sending George home to tie the game at 6-6.  A close play at first did not go in favor of the Peacocks as the inning ended with a runner on third.
 
Upper Iowa put runners on the corners with two outs in the eleventh, but couldn't get the winning run across the plate. Minot State scored a run in the twelfth inning as Tre Smith singled through a drawn-in infield to plate Sean Alp, who singled to open the inning. UIU went in order in the bottom of the inning as the Beavers earned the extra-inning win.

At the plate, the Peacocks got three hits from Janssen and two from George, Greco, Ravelo, Cain and Kulick.
