ST. CLOUD, MN – A frantic late charge by the University of Mary baseball team came up short in a 13-11 loss at St. Cloud State University. The Marauders scored the last seven runs of the game and brought the tying run to the plate in the final contest of a three-game Northern Sun weekend series with the Huskies.
 
Kalem Haney posted three hits for the second day to lead the UMary attack. The sophomore second baseman both scored and drove home a run in the game.

Dylan Edmands added two hits, including a double, scored a run and drove in two.
 
SCSU (21-13, 17-7) opened the scoring with five in the first and would claim an 8-2 lead. After the Marauders closed within 8-4 on a 2-run home run by Hull the Huskies pushed their lead to 12-4.
 
Taking advantage of two SCSU errors in the eighth, UMary scored four unearned runs to close within 12-8. Down 13-8 entering the ninth inning the Marauders took advantage of another Huskies miscue to score three more runs with Edmands, Carter Shin and Isaac Pegors all picking up RBIs before running out of outs.
 
Jared Arnold was stellar in relief for the Marauders, pitching three shutout innings.
