For the second day in a row, Minnesota Duluth struggled to keep host Pittsburg State (Kan.) off the scoreboard in Sunday's nonconference doubleheader.
The Gorillas took a pair from UMD, winning the opener 16-9 and the nightcap 10-8. The Bulldogs (1-3) opened the season Saturday by losing 9-4 before bouncing back to defeat Pittsburg State 12-11.
Sunday, Tyler Wojciechowski was a bright spot in the first game. The UMD sophomore went 3-for-4 at the plate, with a double, home run and two RBIs. The Bulldogs carried a 9-7 lead into the bottom of the eighth inning, only to watch the Gorillas (6-5) explode for a nine-run frame.
In the series finale, the Gorillas matched UMD's six-run top of the fourth inning by producing a matching six-spot in the home half of the fourth. They capitalized on four errors overall - the Bulldogs made six errors in the first game.
UMD's Tyler Midas continued his strong start, collecting three RBIs in defeat.
