PEDERSON SHINES WITH SHUTOUT PERFORMANCE; UMD NEARLY SWEEPS MINNESOTA STATE

Freshman pitcher Sam Pederson put on a clinic in the circle this afternoon in the 4-0 shutout victory over Minnesota State University Mankato as the University of Minnesota Duluth split with the Mavericks in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference action at the Saints Field, home to the College of Saint Scholastica, in Duluth, Minn.

The Bulldogs (22-15; 13-5 NSIC) nearly grabbed their second straight sweep over Minnesota State but the last-inning rally fell short. UMD had back-to-back home runs to trim the Maverick lead to 5-4 with two outs in the seventh and the Bulldogs' game-tying homer the next at-bat reached the warning track.

Freshman pitcher Sam Pederson hurled a gem in the opener as she shutout the Mavericks for her third career shutout – fourth combined. Pederson needed just 92 pitches as she became the second Bulldog hurler in the past 24 seasons to hold Minnesota State off the scoreboard. She allowed five hits and walked no one.

Senior designated player Kalynn Tilton posted two of the Bulldogs' five hits in game one. Tilton, who homered in the second game versus Concordia University, St. Paul yesterday, launched another long bomb to left field for the second straight day. Tilton hit her third home run this season – 14th career – in the third to give UMD a 3-0 advantage.

Sophomore catcher Jessica Bren had the other RBI knock in the game and she beat out an infield single with two out.

In the finale, Minnesota State jumped on top of junior starting pitcher Breanna Swint in the second inning with five runs capped off by a grand slam by Julia Bastian. Sophomore second baseman Taylor Koehnen had a RBI single in the fourth to erase the shutout.

The Bulldogs couldn't get their bats hot until it was too little, too late. Junior shortstop Lauren Oberle smashed her team-leading seventh home run. Oberle slashed the lead to 5-3 with her two-out two-RBI blast to the opposite field. UMD went back-to-back as Bren went deep with her moonshot to straight-away center. Sophomore first baseman Jordyn Thomas almost tied the game but her fly ball was just short of the wall.

The Bulldogs wrap up their six games in three days with a NSIC double header against Bemidji State University Tuesday (April 16) at James S. Malosky Stadium, beginning at 12:00 p.m
