THE BASICS
SCORE: Jamestown 6, Mayville State 3
LOCATION: Jack Brown Stadium, Jamestown, N.D.
RECORDS: Jamestown 3-1, Mayville State 3-3

HOW IT HAPPENED
• The Jimmies used small ball to push across their first run in the bottom of the first. After Chase Burke and Alex Alva led off the inning with back-to-back singles, Triston Madison put down a sacrifice bunt. Comet pitcher Garret Lundmark fielded the bunt but his throw to first was off line, allowing Burke to score from second.
• Jamestown added to their lead with a pair of runs in the third. Madison led off the inning with a walk and was replaced by courtesy runner Dallas Cummins. With Jordan Singleton up to bat, Cummins stole second, then a wild pitch by Mayville State's Jack Cummins went all the way to the backstop and Cummins came around to score. Singleton drew a walk and later came home on Julian Romero's two-out single.
• The Comets got on the board with a single run in the seventh, cutting UJ's lead to 3-1.
• Cummins delivered a single to right that got by Chris Shopbell for a two-base error. Ryan Muizelaar and Riki Okamoto scored to make it 5-1, then Romero drove in Cummins with a sacrifice fly one batter later for a 6-1 lead.  
• The Comets made things interesting in the top of the ninth as Carson Lundmark and Riley Rankin hit solo home runs to get Mayville State within 6-3. Payton Hochhalter came on to get the last out and record his first save.
• Liestman improved to 2-0 as he pitched seven innings, striking out six and walking just one.
• Burke (2-for-4) and Alva (2-for-5) had multi-hit games for the Jimmies.

FOR THE FOES
• Rankin went 3-for-4 and Quinn Pershing was 2-for-3 at the plate for MSU.
