The Grizzlies concluded their Arizona road trip with disappointments, dropping both matches against Minot State and Emporia State for a weekend record of 1-3. In the first game, they narrowly lost 9-8 after leading 8-3 through the first seven innings, but relinquished their lead in the eighth and ninth. Game two was even tougher, with the Grizzlies failing to score and getting shut out 13-0, managing only one hit throughout the game. A promising start from pitcher Austin Delgado faded as he allowed seven runs in one inning, sealing the loss. The Grizzlies now shift focus to a series against Southwestern Oklahoma State University next weekend.
