Southwest Minnesota State swept another pair of games from Minnesota Duluth today as they continued games in Ft. Myers, FL. With the sweep SMSU moves to 8-0 on the season which is their best in school history. Duluth (8-10) has now lost 6 straight games and has seen their pitching staff ravaged in the process.
In game 1, the Mustangs got a RBI single in the bottom of the 7th inning by Matt Bauer to win a close contest 10-9. Bauer, a junior third baseman from Tracy, MN, then starred again in game 2 as he hit a 2 run homer to help lead the team to an easier 10-3 win.
SMSU continues in Florida with a doubleheader tomorrow against Bethel before playing an exhibition game on Friday against the Minnesota Twins.
Minnesota Duluth is finished in Florida and has a final pair of non-conference games against Concordia on March 25th before starting Conference play.
