Hellenbrand, WSU Split With CSP

Story by: Winona State Sports Information Office


ST. PAUL, MN -- Ross Hellenbrand pitched and hit Winona State University to a 3-1 win over Concordia University St. Paul in the first game of a Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference doubleheader before the Warriors lost the nightcap 8-7 in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Hellenbrand retired the first 14 batters he faced and went on to toss a four-hit complete game with eight strikeouts.

Hellenbrand also came up with three of the Warriors' eight hits to go with a run scored and a run driven in.

WSU gave Hellenbrand all the support he would need with three runs in the fourth inning. Consecutive hits by Hellenbrand, Joe Kley, Brent Maxwell and Jamie Soyk did the damage.

In the second game Hellenbrand came up with two more hits, but a walk-off home run gave CSP the win.

WSU had come back to take a 7-6 lead with two runs in the fourth and two runs in the fifth only to have the Golden Bears tie the game at 7-7 with a run in the sixth and then win the game in seventh with one out.

Mike Brabender, Jared Anderson, Soyk and Sam Henriksen all had two hits apiece, while Brabender and Maxwell scoerd twice and Anderson drove in two runs.
