The University of Minnesota Crookston Golden Eagle baseball team lost 3-2 and 7-6 to the University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs in a Northern Sun Conference doubleheader played in Duluth.
GAME ONE –
FIRST INNING
Sawyer Satrom was the baserunner of the game, as he singled with one away. Even though UMC got a two-out walk to put two on, UMD starter Braylen Buttweiler got out of the inning, getting two groundouts and a strikeout to end the frame.
After back-to-back foul outs to start the inning, the Bulldogs got a one-out walk before a popout ended the inning quickly.
SECOND INNING
UMC got a one-out single from Kyler Miller, but Buttweiler once again avoided any more baserunners and kept the Golden Eagles scoreless.
UMD got things underway quickly in the bottom of the 2nd inning with back-to-back singles to get two on with no one out. After a sacrifice bunt, Caden Klebba hit a sacrifice fly, putting the Bulldogs on the board with a 1-0 lead. Then, Nick Thompson and Sam Kliber got back-to-back RBI hits, putting the Bulldogs up 3-0 as the inning ended.
THIRD INNING
UMC got a one-out walk from Sawyer Satrom, but nothing else, and went down quietly in the 3rd.

FOURTH INNING
UMC got a two-out single from Kyler Miller in the 4th, but the three other batters were retired to prevent any threat.
Josh Dykhoff would strike out the side for UMC in the 4th inning.
FIFTH INNING
After a quick out to start the 5th, UMC got a single from Debilzen, and a double from Satrom, and Dykhoff was walked intentionally to load the bases. However, no one could come through; Debilzen was thrown out on a force play and Kobe Senn grounded into another force play to end the inning with UMC still off the scoreboard.
Dykhoff would strike out two more and get a groundout for another quick and easy inning.
SIXTH INNING
UMC finally broke the scoreless drought. Kyler Miller singled, Aaron Wensloff walked, and then with runners on second and third with two outs, Debilzen singled in both runners, cutting the lead down to 3-2 as the game headed to the bottom of the 6th inning.
