Bulldogs Set to Make Season Debut at Bulldog Park, Baseball Prepares for Five Game Week Against Winona State and Crookston
The University of Minnesota Duluth baseball team returns to action this week, taking on the Winona State University Warriors before their weekend series on the road with the University of Minnesota Crookston Golden Eagles going into the final weeks of their Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) regular season schedule.
The Season So Far
Bulldog baseball went 3-2 in games last week, taking one game off of the St. Cloud State University Huskies and and coming out on top in a three game series against the Minot State University Beavers.
Freshman outfielders Tanner Albeck and Garrett Stauffacher both had a big week on the diamond for the Bulldogs. Albeck held a 1.000 FLD% with six putouts while also hitting 2-10 from the plate, including a game winning solo home run in extra innings over SCSU. Stauffacher held a 1.000 FLD% with three putouts while also hitting 5-9 from the plate, including an RBI triple turned inside-the-park home run in their win over Minot State.
The Bulldogs now move into a 16-23 overall record and a 12-18 conference record throughout the 2024 season. UMD now sits at 10th place in the NSIC standings, grappling for a top eight spot with the University of Sioux Falls and Concordia St. Paul in order to qualify for the conference tournament.
