Hit Fest by Meade, Doepker Still Leaves Marauders Short Against #2 Mavericks

MANKATO, Minn. – Seth Meide and Brett Doepker both knocked out five hits on the day but the prodigious production by the two freshmen still left the University of Mary baseball team short in a pair of road losses to 2nd ranked Minnesota State University. The Mavericks twice rallied past the Marauders, 6-3 and 10-7, allowing MSU to sweep U-Mary in the four-game weekend series.
 
GAME 1: Minnesota State 6 U-Mary 3
Both teams scored in three different innings, but while the Marauders scored single runs in each, the Mavericks posted a pair of multi-run stanzas.
 
The Marauders struck first, scoring a solo run in the top of the first on two walks, an infield single and a hit batter. Brett Doepker was struck by a pitch with the bases full to force home Andrew Beyer.
 
After the Mavericks responded with two runs in the bottom of the first and one in the second, the Marauders tied the contest with single runs in the third and the fifth innings. Sean Hennen stroked U-Mary's first home run of the season in the third before a Ben Hildestad grounder to short scored pinch-runner Drew Fueurbach to lock the game at 3-3.
 
A run-scoring double and triple highlighted a 3-run Mavericks outburst in the fifth. Minnesota State locked down the win by limiting U-Mary's offense to just a single walk in the final two innings.
 
Doepker went 2-for-2 to lead the Marauders offense. He had a double, an RBI and was hit by a pitch.
 
Eric Peterson was 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI for Minnesota State. Conner McCallum finished 1-for-2 with two runs scored and an RBI.
 
GAME 2: Minnesota State 10 U-Mary 7
U-Mary scored three of the first four runs of the game and the last four, but nine straight runs by Minnesota State proved too much for the Marauders to overcome.
 
Down 1-0, Cory Dixon tied the game in the second on a solo home run, the second round-tripper of the day and the year for the Marauders. U-Mary grabbed a 3-1 lead in the third on RBI singles by Sean Hennen and Brett Doepker.
 
The Mavericks wasted no time evening the score, tallying twice in the bottom of the third on a Nolan Johnson single and a sacrifice fly. A Josh Crosby two-run double broke the tie in the fifth and Minnesota State tacked on two more runs in the sixth and three in the seventh.
 
Now down 10-3, the Marauders began chipping away with the deficit with a single run in the eighth as a Tom Imholte groundout plated Will Pettener. In the ninth, Seth Meide doubled home the first of three U-Mary runs. Hennen and Doepker followed with run-scoring singles before the Marauders rally ended on a pickoff.
 
Meide and Doepker both set career highs for hits in a game. Meide was 4-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. Doepker was 3-for-4 and drove in two runs. Hennen added two hits and two RBIs.
 
Johnson finished 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBIs. Kevin Kramer had two hits, scored three times and drove in two. Crosby had a game-high three runs batted in.
 
The Marauders drop to 2-16 overall on the season and 0-4 in the Northern Sun. Minnesota State is 13-1 and 4-0.
 
U-Mary next visits Winona State University for four games on March 28-29.
