FAYETTE, IOWA – The Southwest Minnesota State baseball team had its four-game winning snapped today dropping both games of an NSIC doubleheader at Upper Iowa, losing 7-0 and 10-0.
 
The doubleheader was scheduled for Marshall but was moved due to poor weather.
 
In game one, UIU ace pitcher Brett Fanning tossed a six-hit shutout to lead the Peacocks to the victory, lowering his ERA to 2.01. It's the second straight outstanding start for Fanning, who defeated Sioux Falls this past Saturday with a complete game two-hitter. Fanning struck out three and walked one in today's shutout.
 
UIU (18-22, 14-18 NSIC) was the visiting team on the scoreboard today and jumped on SMSU (13-27, 8-22 NSIC) starter Davis Bryan in the top of the first with a pair of runs on three hits.
 
SMSU's best chance to score in the game came in the bottom of the second as Shane Sellner singled and moved to third on a double by Liam Lopez. Following a fly out and a walk to load the bases, an infield pop out and ground out ended the Mustang threat.
 
UIU quickly added to the lead in the top of the third with two more runs on three hits to build a 4-0 advantage. UIU added two more in the fourth and one more in the fifth for the final margin.
 
The Peacocks finished with 16 hits off three Mustang pitchers.
 
Bryan (0-3) pitched the first three innings and allowed four runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and one walk.
 
Brian Redemske led SMSU's six-hit offense finishing 2 for 3.
 
In game two, UIU pitcher Ryab Munoz fired a five-hit shutout with eight strikeouts and three walks.
 
The Peacocks jumped on the board early in game two, plating five runs on five hits and taking advantage of two Mustangs errors. UIU added three more runs in the third inning to push the lead to 8-0 and never looked back.
 
Chase Meyer (2-4) took the loss for the Mustangs, allowing eight runs (three earned) on 10 hits in four innings of work. He recorded three strikeouts and walked one.
 
Kody Larson finished 2 for 3 to pace the Mustang offense.
 
Today is the first time SMSU has been shutout in both games of a doubleheader since the 1995 season at Winona State.
 
Southwest Minnesota State continues play on the road this weekend with a four-game series versus Bemidji State with doubleheaders on both Saturday and Sunday.
