Game 1... Pioneers 10... Dakota College-Bottineau 0

Dawson Parry (American Fork, UT) was at it again as he hit a grand slam HR in the bottom of the 4th to break open a close game as the Pioneers scored 7 in that frame enroute to a 10-0 win in 6 innings. MCC only had 5 hits but Pioneer pitching kept the Lumberjacks at arms length limiting DCB to only 2 hits. Pioneer pitchers did walk 9 batters in Game 1 but the Jacks could not take advantage of the extra baserunners. 

Lewis Johnson (Evans Head, Australia) had a 2-run double in the first inning to start things off and Jake Lacey had an RBI and scored a run going 1-3 from the leadoff spot. 

Keith Manby (White Rock, BC) got the start on the mound and struck out the side in his 1 inning of work. Cy Miller (Helena, MT) walked 5 and struck out 5 Lumberjacks in 3 innings of work. Hunter Lasko (Salt Lake City, UT) pitched the final 2 innings giving up 2 hits and 3 walks with 1 strikeout.

Cade Stuff (Great Falls, MT) had a 2 RBI triple and scored 2 runs as the Pioneers held off a feisty Lumberjack squad 6-3 and sweep the 4-game series.
