For those of you wanting something to eat or drink at the games, the concession stand in the NW corner of the track is open.

Sertic only had to throw 78 pitches. She isn't even warmed up yet. :)

NDSU leads SDSU 3-0, Bison batting in the 4th.
Jackrabbits had runners on 1st & 2nd in their half of the 4th, but NDSU got out of that jam unscathed.

[Bisonator98]

Bison win again 4-0! Another shutout by Sertic!

[HoopsBison]

Sertic throws a complete game, no hitter, and 15k's. Congrats ladies, rest up for tomorrow!

[Bison Fan 17]

Just to put into perspective how well Jax is pitching. The loser out game between Omaha and SDSU. Both pitchers combined had 6 strikeouts. There is a reason she is currently 5th in all of D1 in K's.

She is possessed right now. Pretty easy to win when your starting pitcher throws a no hitter.

Saw a tweet that said SDSU coming into the NDSU game today was 4th in all of D1 batting .331 as a team. They had 3 players batting over .400 on the year. Just adds to the impressiveness of what Sertic did today.

[Herd]

Is she throwing today, or do you roll the dice with your 2.

[Mr Meaty]

I would think Sertic pitches first game to try and close it out. Her pitch count was good yesterday.

What a spring! Softball. Women's golf. Men's golf. Track & Field. Good times!

But but but... NDSU is only good at football.

[NDSUstudent]

3-1 NDSU top of 3rd....3 run homer puts the Bison in the lead.

[NDSUstudent]

Another 3 run bomb, 6-1 Bison.

[HerdBot]

Another 3 run bomb, 6-1 Bison.

Impressive crowd. I thought they were nuts for planning another grand stand along right field but this game was almost sold out!

[SDbison]

Bison win 6 -1 and are Summit Champions!

[BisonTeacher]

Sweeeeeet!

[roadwarrior]

Sertic 12 more Ks today

[Bison Fan 17]

Awsome 3 days of softball. Over 500 fans there today and the atmosphere was excellent. Jax with 36K's in 19 innings. She had a .037 era during the tournament. And held the #4 team in the country in team bat avg to 3 hits in 14 innings. The bats came to life and defense was very solid. Class of the SL this. Congrats ladies.

[roadwarrior]

Maybe we should host this tournament every year.

Coach Mueller made an awesome call pinch hitting Renner. Congrats on another Summit Championship!
