MOORHEAD, Minn.-- The University of Jamestown softball team held Minnesota State-Moorhead to two runs in a pair of games Wednesday, sweeping the NCAA Division II Dragons 4-1 and 9-1 in five innings.

The Jimmies improve to 19-7 overall and return to GPAC play Saturday at College of Saint Mary (Neb.)

Mariah Wick (JR/Jamestown, N.D.)'s bases-clearing double in the top of the fourth gave UJ a 4-0 lead in game one, and Jamestown went on to a 4-1 win. Kat Miska (JR/Pequot Lakes, Minn.) (9-1) pitched her ninth complete game of the season, striking out 11 while giving up just one run on five hits.

The Jimmies loaded the bases in the top of the first with one out, and a Santina Zito (SO/Boise, Idaho) fielder's choice scored Morgan Geiszler (JR/Horace, N.D.) for a 1-0 lead.

With two outs in the fourth, Jenna Remenar (FR/Vancouver, Wash.) and Lauren Diemert (FR/West Fargo, N.D.) singled, and Geiszler walked to load the bases. Wick came through with a double to left field, scoring all three runners.

Wick and Remenar each had two hits. Sydney Prussia (JR/Detroit Lakes, Minn.) doubled and Katie Reisdorfer (JR/Fresno, Calif.) had UJ's other hit.

After being kept off the scoreboard to start game two, UJ scored twice in the second and fourth innings, and put up four runs in the third to go ahead 8-1. A sac bunt by Megan Neiles (FR/Winnipeg, MB) and a Dragon fielding error accounted for the Jimmies' first two runs.

In the third inning, Mariah Wick scored on an error, Gentrey Turin (FR/Sandy, Ore.) and Neiles singled in two more runs, and Julia Byrne (SO/Andover, Minn.) drove in another as UJ stretched their lead to 6-0.

MSU-M got on the board with a single run in the bottom of the third to make it 6-1. In the top of the fourth, Neiles and Byrne had RBI singles to make it an 8-1 game. Morgan Geiszler scored on a wild pitch in the top of the fifth for the final Jimmie run.

Katie Merchant (SO/South Haven, Minn.) (7-3) went all five innings and surrendered one run on five hits, striking out three.
