MINNETONKA, Minn. – The Southwest Minnesota State baseball team opened Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference play today with a split versus Concordia-St. Paul played at Veterans Field.

Petersen (3-0) tossed career-high 7 1/3 innings, scattering five hits with three strikeout and no walks. Alex Jorgensen recorded the final three outs to pick up his third save of the season.
 
SMSU (6-6, 1-1 NSIC) broke a scoreless game in the fifth inning as Derek Branson led off with triple and scored on a Brian Redemske RBI single.
 
SMSU added to the lead in the seventh as Redemske double and later scored on a sac fly from Shane Sellner to push the lead to 2-0.
 
CSP had its best chance to score in the eight inning, loading the bases with one out. SMSU's Jared Tschetter came on in relief of Shawn Williams and promptly recorded a ground ball double play to end the threat.
