Baseball hosts opening games at U.S. Bank Stadium

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- The North Central University (NCU) baseball team opened up their season inside the U.S. Bank Stadium with a double header against Augsburg University (AU). The Rams dropped both games to the Auggies, first with a score of 9-0 followed by a second game score of 9-0.

Game One Recap

The opening two innings were a standstill, as both teams felt out a new opponent, and a new stadium. AU found a little bit of a rhythm in the third inning bringing two players in and found even more of a rhythm in the fourth as they scored five more runs. The Rams, while able to get on base multiple times, were unable to cross home plate. Teyghan Hovland (Austin, MN, Austin High School), Julian Encinas (Tucson, AZ, Amphitheater High school), and Kyle Huerth (Moorpark, CA, Moorpark High School) found themselves at third base in three seperate innings, but the Auggies cut the Ram's run short with a third out. Catcher Encinas saw a lot of defensive action in the game recording eight outs, over a third of NCU's outs. Christian Rodriguez (Tuscon, AZ, Catalina Foothills High School), the starting pitcher for NCU, struck out five AU batters in the 9-0 loss.

Game Two Recap

The Auggies continued their offensive success with an explosive first inning as they scored seven runs. Before these runs, Hovland did get to third in the top of the first unable to convert it into a run. The second was quite quick, but the third ran a little longer as AU ran across home plate twice more ramping the score to 9-0. Again in the fourth inning, the Rams made it to third, this time by the skill of Jack Parker (Bordentown, NJ, Bordentown Regional High School), and again fell short of the run. The last three innings were relatively fast as both teams struggle to get on base. Pitcher Kristian Garcia (Las Vegas, LV, Palo Verde High School) helped with this as he through three strike outs along with first baseman Daniel Montana (Tucson, AZ, Cienega High School) who recorded four outs in the game.

Key Performers
  • In the first game, Julian Encinas grabbed eight outs, and had one hit.
  • At pitcher, Christian Rodriguez had five strike outs and upon moving to second base in the second game, he had one hit, and one out.
  • Jack Parker recorded eight outs and one hit in both games.

Looking Ahead

The Rams will have to wait about a month until their next competition, traveling to Lincoln Christian University (LCU) on Friday March 25th for one game that afternoon and two the following Saturday, all against LCU. All fans are encouraged to tune into official Rams Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter pages for updates on the baseball team and much more information.
