Recap:
The Tigers looked to bounce back after a slippery start at the Minot Bubble Invite. U of P got into action early after they put up two runs in the bottom frame of the first inning. DWU recorded only one hit in the second and U of P used that momentum to put up five runs on the Tigers before Reagan Grossi made an athletic dive to close out the second.
After going scoreless in the first two, Peyton Bagley got the Tigers on the board in the top of the third inning with a 2-run home run out of centerfield. The DWU defense turned it up and only allowed a pair of hits in the next three innings and held the Argos to only one run. The Tigers looked to climb back into the game but would leave a pair of Tigers stranded in the top of the fifth after they recorded their seventh hit of the game. DWU's momentum came to a stop in the sixth as they struggled to get onto base after the Tigers went three and out. DWU fell to the Argos 10-2 after they allowed a pair of runs.
