LUSKEY, SIEGERT HOMER, BUT JACKS FALL AT SLU
3/9/2025 5:46:00 PM | Baseball
ST. LOUIS — Saint Louis scored in every inning but the fifth en route to completing a series sweep of South Dakota State with a 17-2, seven-inning victory Sunday afternoon at the Billiken Sports Complex.
The Billikens improved to 8-7 overall while SDSU dropped to 1-10 on the season.
Riley Iffrig paced SLU at the plate in the early going, hitting a three-run home run as part of a four-run bottom of the first and capping a five-run third inning with a two-run double.
The strike zone was elusive for the Jackrabbit pitching staff as seven SDSU hurlers combined to issue 15 walks in the contest. Four of the free passes came with the bases loaded, including three to account for the first three runs of the third inning.
Hayden Moore and Hank Gomric each added two-run singles for the Billikens, who put the 10-run rule into effect with another five-spot in the fourth inning. SLU held a 9-5 advantage in hits.
Both of SDSU's runs scored on solo home runs. Luke Luskey connected on his team-leading third round-tripper of the season for the first run of the game in the top of the first and Owen Siegert added his second home run of his freshman campaign to lead off the fifth. Siegert tallied two of the Jackrabbits' five hits, adding a single in the second inning.
Jackrabbit starter Caleb Duerr was lifted early in the second inning and was assessed the loss. The freshman right-hander was charged with five runs on three hits while walking two and striking out one.
Redshirt freshman Tristan Augedahl made his first collegiate appearance and held Saint Louis off the board in the fifth inning, striking out two.
Josh Cunningham worked five innings for the Billikens, striking out five and walking one as he earned his first victory of the season.
UP NEXT
The Jackrabbits are slated to play Wednesday at Air Force. First pitch has been moved back to 2 p.m. Mountain Time (3 p.m. Central) at Erdle Field on the Air Force Academy campus near Colorado Springs, Colorado.
