Eighth inning rally by SMSU shocks Wildcats 4-1

Southwest Minnesota State 4 Wayne State 1

            A four-run eighth inning by Southwest Minnesota State handed Wayne State a stunning 4-1 Northern Sun Conference baseball loss Saturday afternoon at Overin Field in Wayne.  The games were moved to Wayne due to unplayable conditions in Marshall, Minnesota.  SMSU is now 11-7 and 3-5 in the NSIC while WSC drops to 8-14 and 2-6.
            The game was a pitcher's battle between Wayne State's Nathan Anderson and Southwest Minnesota State's Kolby Kiser.
            WSC got on the board in the third inning when Braden Cannon singled to start the inning, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Cade Lynam, advanced to third on a Chase Douglas single and scored on a ground out by Quinn McCafferty for a 1-0 lead.
            That was the only score of the game until the eighth inning outburst by the Mustangs.
            Wildcat starter Nathan Anderson was stellar on the hill, fanning nine batters in 6 1/3 scoreless innings.  He allowed just four hits and walked one batter while throwing 58 strikes in an 82-pitch outing.
            SMSU's Kolby Kiser was just as impressive, striking out 10 batters in 7 2/3 innings allowing one run on five hits.  Despite the strong outings by both starters, each one came away with a no-decision.
            Wayne State had another chance to score in the eighth inning, but left the bases loaded.  With two outs and no runners on base, Colin Lynam was hit by a pitch, Nick Barnett singled to right field and Carter Thomas walked to load the bases. 
            But SMSU reliever Theo Giedd was able to get out of the jam with a fielder's choice as WSC left the bases loaded.
            Southwest Minnesota State then erupted for four runs in the eighth inning on four hits to rally for the 4-1 win.
            The Mustangs had eight hits in the game to six for WSC.  Cannon was 2 for 2 with a pair of singles and run scored to lead the 'Cats.  Douglas, Blake Stanley, Thomas and Barnett each singled.
            Reliver Josh Kilzer (2-1) suffered the pitching loss, allowing two runs and one hit in one inning of work. 
            The Wildcats next action is Wednesday at the University of Mary for an NSIC doubleheader.
