Box Score Mankato, Minn. --- All nine Maverick starters registered a base hit as No. 14 Minnesota State scored a season-high 15 runs, including 10 in the final two innings, to complete a four-game series sweep of visiting Augustana College in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference play Monday afternoon at the MSU Baseball Complex.
 
The Mavericks tagged Viking starter sophomore Jordan Milbrath for a run in each of the first two innings as sophomore catcher Nolan Johnson doubled in sophomore third baseman Connor McCallum - who extended his hitting streak to ten games - and junior first baseman Stetson Olson launched his fifth homerun of the year well over the right field fence.
 
MSU senior righthander Nick Sutherland breezed through the first four innings until Augustana rallied in the top of the fifth for two runs off back-to-back RBI singles from freshman Zach Dibble and junior Jake Petersen to knot the game at two apiece. The Mavericks came back in their half of the fifth with a trio of runs off RBI singles from junior shortshop Todd Standish, junior outfielder Scott Lindner and Johnson, respectively, to take a 5-2 advantage.
 
Augie tied the game at 5-5 in the top of the seventh with three runs - all with two outs - after sophomore Jack Goihl was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and junior Tony Viger ripped a two-run single into center field, but once again Minnesota State provided an answer in its half of the inning. MSU claimed a 9-5 lead with four runs in the frame, keyed by a two-run double from junior catcher Mike Andries.
 
Andries struck again for the Mavericks in the eighth when he ripped a two-run single down the right field line before Standish produced an additional run with a bases-loaded walk. After junior outfielder Parker Sullivan plated two more with an RBI single through the right side, pinch-hitter senior Jon Flattery drove in Standish with a groundout to first to complete the 15-5 final via the 10-run rule.
 
Junior righthander Tyler Sparger (1-0) earned his first win as a Maverick with one and two-thirds innings scoreless relief, while freshman Michael Letkewicz (1-1) took the loss for the Vikings. Johnson went four-for-five with a pair of runs scored, two RBI, a double and a triple, while McCallum finished three-of-four with three runs scored. Additionally, Andires was two-for-five with two runs, a double and a game-high four RBI.
 
Now 22-7 overall and 11-3 in the NSIC, Minnesota State will continue conference action Wednesday afternoon with a home doubleheader against Upper Iowa slated to begin at 1:30 p.m.
