LAST TIME OUT
Dickinson State opened its fall slate with back-to-back home doubleheaders, earning splits against Mayville State and Valley City State to move to 2-2. The Blue Hawks dropped tight openers in both matchups before responding with high-powered wins in the nightcaps.
Against Mayville State, DSU fell 8-7 despite 10 hits and a late rally, then bounced back with a 12-9 victory behind Moses Dokes' eight-RBI performance, including a grand slam. In the Valley City State series, the Blue Hawks fell 6-3 in Game 1, hurt by errors and missed opportunities, but surged to a 7-4 win in Game 2 behind Ty Farwell's grand slam and strong relief pitching.
Across the four games, DSU showed offensive depth with standout performances from Dokes, Farwell, Buchanan, and Roberts, while the bullpen and baserunning delivered late in both wins.
