OMAHA, Neb. (SDSU) â Drew McDowell pitched six no-hit innings and Ty Madison completed the shutout bid with three scoreless frames as South Dakota State locked up a berth in next weekâs Summit League Baseball Championship with a 5-0 victory over Omaha Wednesday night at Tal Anderson Field.
The Jackrabbits improved to 21-27 overall and evened their Summit League record at 12-12 with their fifth win in their last seven conference games. Omaha dropped to 18-24 overall and 13-11 in league play. SDSU, which overtook Northern Colorado for third place in the league standings, was designated as the home team due to Wednesdayâs game being a makeup game from a series scheduled for early April in Brookings that was canceled due to inclement weather.
McDowell, who threw the first six innings as part of a combined no-hitter against Buena Vista in his last outing on April 28, ran his hitless innings streak to 12 Wednesday night. The right-hander from Billings, Montana, matched a career high with seven strikeouts while walking three and hitting two batters en route to his team-leading fourth win of the season.
Omaha finally broke into the hit column in the top of the seventh with a pair of two-out singles by Edoardo Cornelli and Eli Hoerner off Madison, but the SDSU reliever induced a groundout for the final out of the seventh and allowed only one more baserunner the rest of the way with a strikeout to secure his first save of the season.
