NDSU FOOTBALL

 

FARGO, N.D. (NDSU)- Second-ranked South Dakota State scored 16 unanswered points and held top-ranked North Dakota State to five first downs after halftime to claim a 23-21 Missouri Valley Football Conference victory Saturday, Oct at Gate City Bank Field at the Fargodome. South Dakota State won its third straight Dakota Marker game and improved to 6-1 overall and 4-0 in the MVFC. The Jackrabbits snapped a 13-game home winning streak for North Dakota State, which slipped to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the conference.
NDSU scored touchdowns on its first three possessions to take a 21-7 lead early in the second quarter. An interception in the end zone on the next series kept NDSU from extending the lead, and the Bison didn’t score again. North Dakota State ran 17 plays for 42 yards over the next four possessions ending with four straight punts while the Jackrabbits scored on all four of their second-half possessions including three Hunter Dustman field goals and a 16-yard touchdown run by Amar Johnson. Dustman connected from 31 and 38 yards on his first two conversions, and his 18-yard field goal with 3:49 left gave the Jackrabbits their first lead of the day. NDSU moved to the SDSU 49 on its final possession before turning over the ball on downs.

 

The ending spoiled an otherwise solid performance for NDSU quarterback Cam Miller, who completed his first 13 passes and finished 17 of 22 passing for 227 yards and two touchdowns. DJ Hart had a career day with four catches and 59 yards including a 22-yard touchdown, fullback Hunter Luepke caught a 30-yard TD, and Zach Mathis finished with five receptions for 53 yards.

 

South Dakota State, which entered with the nation’s third-ranked rushing defense allowing just 57.5 yards per game, held North Dakota State to a season-low 127 yards rushing, the fewest by a Bison team since April 2021 when SDSU held NDSU to 97 yards on the ground. SDSU’s Isaiah Davis rushed 14 times for 114 yards including a 24-yard touchdown in the first quarter, Johnson finished with 12 carries for 89 yards, and quarterback Mark Gronowski went 16-for-21 passing for 152 yards. Jadon Janke led the Jacks with seven catches for 83 yards.

 

North Dakota State has an open week in the conference schedule before returning to action Saturday, Oct. 29, at home against Illinois State.

WILD-KINGS

 

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Adrian Kempe’s second goal of the night broke a tie in the third period as the Los Angeles Kings recovered after giving up a two-goal lead and beat the Minnesota Wild 7-6 Saturday night for their first win of the season. Kevin Fiala added a goal and two assists in his return to Minnesota. Gabriel Vilardi, Drew Doughty, Alex Iafallo and Matt Roy also scored for the Kings, starting a five-game road trip. Cal Petersen stopped 29 shots. Mats Zuccarello had a goal and two assists and Kirill Kaprizov scored his first goal of the season for Minnesota, which has allowed 14 goals in losing its first two games. Jake Middleton, Marcus Foligno, Joel Eriksson Ek and Sam Steel also scored. Filip Gustavsson made 17 saves — and added an assist — after replacing Marc-Andre Fleury to start the second period. Fleury gave up four goals on 14 shots in the first. Thirteen Wild players and 11 Kings had points in the highest scoring game of the young NHL season.

MLB-DIVISIONAL ROUND

 

SEATTLE (AP) — Jeremy Peña homered in the 18th inning, and the Houston Astros beat the Seattle Mariners 1-0 to advance to the AL Championship Series for the sixth straight year. Peña drove a slider from Penn Murfee deep to left-center for the rookie shortstop’s first playoff homer, proving the only run in an afternoon full of dominant pitching and empty trips to the plate. The 18 innings matched the longest game in playoff history. Spoiling Seattle’s first home playoff appearance since 2001, Houston completed a three-game sweep of the ALDS. Next up is the New York Yankees or Cleveland Guardians in Game 1 of the ALCS on Wednesday.
———-

 

CLEVELAND (AP) — Rookie Oscar Gonzalez hit a two-run single with two outs in the ninth inning, rallying the Cleveland Guardians to a 6-5 win over the New York Yankees for a 2-1 lead in their AL Division Series. Gonzalez, a hero earlier in the postseason as well, lined a 1-2 pitch from Clarke Schmidt through the middle to score rookie Steven Kwan and Amed Rosario as the young Guardians, who have shown no fear during this storybook season, rallied once again and pushed the Yankees to the brink of elimination. Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer for New York, which took a 5-3 lead into the ninth before its bullpen flopped.
———-

 

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jake Cronenworth hit a tiebreaking, two-run single with two outs in the seventh inning and the San Diego Padres rallied past the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3 to advance to the NL Championship Series for the first time since 1998. The Padres stunned the 111-win Dodgers with a five-run seventh to win the best-of-five NL Division Series 3-1 in front of a raucous sellout crowd of 45,139 at Petco Park. San Diego will host the Philadelphia Phillies in Games 1 and 2 of an all-wild card NLCS on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Phillies beat the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves 8-3 earlier in the day to win their NLDS in four games.
———-

 

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brandon Marsh hit a three-run homer and J.T. Realmuto lined an inside-the-park home run that sent the Philadelphia Phillies bolting headfirst into the NL Championship Series for the first time since 2010 with an 8-3 win over the Atlanta Braves in Game 4. Realmuto became the first catcher to hit an inside-the-parker in postseason history and Bryce Harper punctuated the romp with a clinching home run that helped the Phillies take the NL Division Series 3-1 against the World Series champion Braves. The Phillies will face the Padres in an all-wild card NLCS beginning Tuesday in San Diego. The Padres stunned the Dodgers, taking their NLDS matchup in four games. Atlanta’s loss meant there hasn’t had a repeat champ since the Yankees won three straight from 1998-2000.
