Box Score

VALLEY CITY, N.D. - Preston Ghizoni's bases-loaded single with one out in the bottom of the ninth gave North Dakota State at 5-4 win over Mayville State in college baseball Tuesday, April 12, at Charlie Brown Field.

Wes Satzinger was 4-for-5 and Nic Obey was 3-for-5 with two runs scored for North Dakota State, which improved to 5-18 overall with its third straight win.

Ricky Alvernaz was 3-for-5 with two doubles and Tanner Carpenter and Dan Bauer had two hits apiece for Mayville State, which dropped to 14-9 overall.

It was 3-0 Mayville State after three innings before the Bison scored in the fifth.  Zach Heidmann hit a one-out single, scored on Obey's double to the wall in left-center, and Tanner Adam followed with an RBI single one batter later to make it 3-2.

It was 4-2 before the Bison tied it in the seventh.  Obey hit a leadoff single and scored on Tim Colwell's triple to the wall in left field when left fielder Alex Berry lost the ball in the lights.  Adam followed with a walk and scored on a one-out single by Satzinger.

Casper led off the NDSU ninth with a single to left field, moved to third on a bunt single by Satzinger and a walk to Zach Wentz, and scored when Ghizoni laced a 1-2 pitch to left over Mayville State's five-man infield.

North Dakota State left a season-high 15 runners on base in the game, which was delayed for 29 minutes before the start of the eighth inning due to a power outage.
