MSU-CROSS COUNTRY

 

JAMESTOWN, N.D. – Jacob Jensen’s runner-up finish led the way for the Minot State men’s cross-country team, which found itself second as well on Friday at the Jamestown Jimmie Invitational. Jensen clocked a time of 25 minutes, 4 seconds in the men’s 8-kilometer race to finish a dozen seconds away from his second victory of the season. He led a strong effort by the Beaver men, who placed four in the Top 10 as Nicholas Merillana was sixth in 25:40.3, Trent Holiday was seventh in 25:41.3, and Charles Hardcastle was 10th in 26:09.3. That helped propel the Beavers to a second-place finish as a team behind in-state rival the University of Mary, which scored 33 points. Minot State scored 43 points.

 

On the women’s side, the Beavers were fourth as a team and got Top-20 finishes each from Paulette Dominguez and Emery Smith. Dominguez was 12th in 19:18.4 and Smith as 15th in 19:32.8 for the Beavers who scored 109 points. Mary also won the women’s team title, scoring a one-two-three finish led by Alyssa Becker, who won in 17:35.2 on the women’s 5K course. Sidra Sadowsky was 21st overall for Minot State in 20:07.3, Aleisha Ford was 23rd in 20:12.1, Monica Okopal was 38th in 23:17.7, and Nicole Reeves was 39th in 23:38.7.

 

On the men’s side, Grayson Bonilla was 18th in 27:02.9, Camden Jasmin was 25th in 27:40.2, and Juan Gutierrez was 29th in 27:59.1. Northern State’s Jackson Harrison won the men’s race in 24:51.9.

 

The Minot State cross country teams now get two weeks off to rest and prepare for their final regular season meet before the NSIC Championships on Nov. 5, competing at the Mystic-Marauder Invite hosted by Mary on Oct. 21.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

 

MINOT, ND – The Minot State Beavers football team (0-5) head to Moorhead, Minn. to face off against the Minnesota State-Moorhead Dragons (1-4) at Noon today. The Dragons have owned the series since the Beavers joined the NSIC in 2012 as the Dragons own an 8-1 record on the series. The last meeting last year took place here in Minot with the Dragons slipping away 29-17 winners. The lone Minot State win was the first meeting back in 2012 when the Beavers dominated a 31-10 victory in Moorhead.

 

The UND Fighting Hawks will visit Youngstown, Ohio, today to square off with the Penguins at Stambaugh Stadium. Kickoff between UND and YSU is scheduled for 5 pm.

MLB-WILD CARD ROUND

 

CLEVELAND (AP) — José Ramírez connected for a two-run homer, Shane Bieber dominated Tampa Bay for 7 2/3 innings and the young Cleveland Guardians played with poise in their postseason debut, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 in their wild-card opener. Ramírez’s shot off Shane McClanahan in the sixth inning helped Cleveland end an eight-game postseason losing streak. Bieber was rocked in his only other playoff appearance two years ago. He allowed just three hits this time and struck out eight before being lifted in the eighth. Emmanuel Clase took it from there, getting four outs for his first postseason save. Jose Siri homered for the Rays, who dropped their sixth straight game overall and must win Game 2 today to force a decisive Game 3 Sunday.

TORONTO (AP) — Luis Castillo and Andrés Muñoz combined on a shutout, Cal Raleigh hit a two-run homer and the Seattle Mariners won in their first postseason game since 2001, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 4-0 in their AL wild-card series opener. Eugenio Suárez had two hits and two RBIs and rookie Julio Rodríguez reached base three times and scored twice for the Mariners, who can wrap up the series with a win in Game 2 Saturday. Robbie Ray starts for the Mariners against Kevin Gausman. Castillo scattered six singles in 7 /13 innings. He struck out five and walked none, facing the AL’s second-highest scoring team. Castillo, acquired in a midseason trade from Cincinnati, became the first pitcher in Mariners history to throw more than seven scoreless innings in a postseason start.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Phillies scored six times in the ninth inning off the stingy St. Louis bullpen, highlighted by a bases-loaded single by Jean Segura, and Philadelphia beat the NL Central champion Cardinals 6-3 in the opening game of their National League wild-card series. The Phillies had struggled all afternoon against Jose Quintana and the rest of the Cardinals relievers. But they loaded the bases against Ryan Helsley in the ninth, then proceeded to push across six runs to take the opener of the best-of-three series. With a win tonight, the Phillies will advance to face NL East champ Atlanta in the divisional round.

NEW YORK (AP) — Josh Bell and Manny Machado smashed two of San Diego’s four home runs off Max Scherzer, and the Padres romped past the New York Mets 7-1 in their playoff opener. Yu Darvish shut down the Mets once again, and San Diego also got long balls from Jurickson Profar and slumping Trent Grisham against an ineffective Scherzer — booed off the mound in the fifth inning at Citi Field. The three-time Cy Young Award winner exited his first postseason start for New York down 7-0, a massive disappointment after Scherzer was signed to a $130 million contract in December. San Diego needs one win over the next two days to take the best-of-three National League wild card series and advance to face the top-seeded Dodgers.
