TUCSON, Ariz. – Hamline scored runs in all but two innings to hand the UW-Superior baseball team a 16-8 loss at Kino Sports Complex Saturday.
 
The Yellowjackets close their spring break trip at 4-6 overall and will play at Carroll for two games next Saturday starting at noon.
 
Superior pounded out 15 hits, but Hamline (6-7) got to starter Boone Elkins (Riverside, Calif./Arlington) for six runs and six hits in 3.1 innings. Braeden Barr (San Diego, Calif./Grossmount) then surrendered seven runs in 1.2 innings of work, and the Pipers led, 10-4, through five.
 
Four UWS players collected multiple hits, led by Nick Fredrikson (Minneapolis, Minn./St. Anthony Village) who was 3-for-4 with a run scored. Jordan Berrios (Watertown, Minn./Watertown-Mayer), Alec Rabin (Deerfield, Ill./Deerfield) and Barr also had two hits apiece for the 'Jackets.
 
UWS scored first as Berrios led off the game with a double to left field. Brandon Rolf (Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater) then reached on an error by the second baseman. A Cory Albertson (Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater Area) flyout moved Berrios to third, followed by a Rolf stolen base. With two outs, Hamline starter Jimmy Skroch uncorked a wild pitch to score Rolf for a 1-0 lead.
 
Hamline broke on top with four runs in the bottom of the first. Four consecutive hits produced the Pipers' first three runs. Devin Rodgers doubled down the left-field line, clearing the bases. After a strike out, Broady Russell hit a ground ball to the right side chasing Rogers – who had stolen third – home.
 
Superior made it 4-2 in the top of the second when, with one out and Rabin on second with a double, Fredrikson singled to center, scoring Rabin. The 'Jackets then tied it in the fourth with a pair of runs as Barr hit into a fielder's choice that scored Rolf and a Travis Miller (Whittier, Calif./La Serna) sacrifice fly scored Barr.
 
Hamline took the lead for good in the bottom of the inning as a one-out RBI single by Elliott Engen plated Zack Langton to make it 5-4.
 
The Pipers extended their lead, scoring 11 times in the fourth through seventh innings. Down, 12-4 heading to the top of the seventh, Barr singled home Berrios with one out and, two batters later, Miller doubled down the left-field line scoring Matthew Boyde (Chanhassen, Minn./Minnetonka), Barr and Rolf to close to within 12-8.
 
Hamline responded with four of their own in its half to put the game out of reach.
 
Skroch (2-0) went 6.1 innings, allowing 13 hits and eight runs with one strikeout for the win. Jake Dujmovic finished things, scattering two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in 2.2 innings.
