MSU SOFTBALL
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (MSU) -Abby Lohse led the offense with her second home run of the season but it wasn’t enough as the Beavers fell twice to in-state rival Jamestown in a non-conference doubleheader Tuesday on the road. Minot State fell 4-2 in the opener and 2-1 in the nightcap as the teams wrapped up a four-game season series, splitting a pair of close doubleheaders with the home team winning each contest. The Beavers are back in action next weekend as they head to Kansas for the Washburn Invitational.
GAME 1 | Jamestown 4, Minot State 2
Abby Lohse went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI, but the Minot State Beavers still came up short and lost to the Jamestown Jimmies by a final of 4-2. Calley Olson (1-1) started and took the loss in the circle for Minot State. Reegan Floyd was a bright spot out of the bullpen, going 2.1 shutout innings while allowing one hit. Lohse led the way offensively for the Beavers, going 2-for-4 in the ballgame with a home run and two RBI. Sara Van Wickler put together a standout day at the plate as well, going 2-for-4 with a double. The Beavers got on the board immediately, starting their scoring with one run in the top of the first inning. Minot State got an RBI single from Lohse, scoring Van Wickler from second base. The Jimmies then rallied to score four runs and take a 4-1 lead before the Beavers got back on the board in the third. Minot State picked up a run on Lohse’s two-out solo home run off of Hope Ransome, which brought the score to 4-2 in favor of the Jimmies. The Beavers were unable to get any closer, as neither team scored again in the ballgame.
GAME 2 | Jamestown 2, Minot State 1
Minot State pitchers allowed only two runs, but the Beavers could not muster the offense to take advantage, losing to the Jamestown Jimmies by the score of 2-1 on Tuesday. Gabi Dawyduk (1-2) started and took the loss in the circle for Minot State (5-3 overall). The right-hander went four innings, giving up two runs, one earned, on four hits, allowing no walks and striking out two. Kierra Fournier was a bright spot out of the bullpen, going two shutout innings while allowing two hits, walking none and striking out three. Taylor Smith led the way offensively for the Beavers, going 1-for-2 in the ballgame with an RBI. Maizy Whitlow put together a noteworthy day at the dish as well, going 1-for-3 with a double. Trailing 2-0, the Beavers first put runs on the board in the fifth inning. Minot State got an RBI single from Smith, scoring Hannah Murray from third base. The Beavers were unable to get any closer, as neither team scored again in the ballgame.

WOLVES-BLAZERS
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Anthony Edwards didn’t think he could play against the Trail Blazers. Then he scored 41 points. Edwards shook off the right knee soreness that he felt going into Tuesday night’s game at Portland and helped lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 121-109 victory. Rudy Gobert added 16 points and 15 rebounds for his sixth straight double-double. Karl-Anthony Towns, who had foul trouble early, finished with 13 points for the Western Conference-leading Timberwolves. Deandre Ayton had 22 points and 16 rebounds for the Blazers, who lost their fifth straight. Portland hosts Minnesota again on Thursday night.
