KHRT SPORTS – MONDAY – 05/06/24
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ceddanne Rafaela hit the first Red Sox home run in seven games, Rafael Devers added another, and Boston ended Minnesota’s 12-game winning streak by beating the Twins 9-2 on Sunday. Vaughn Grissom and Dominic Smith had two-run doubles, and Boston ended a three-game slide in which it scored just four runs. Ryan Jeffers homered and Trevor Larnach had an RBI single for Minnesota. The Twins’ 12-game winning streak was tied for the second-longest in team history behind a 15-win run in June 1991, the last season Minnesota won the World Series. Boston starter Cooper Criswell, who threw five shutout innings in each of his last two starts, allowed one earned run and struck out five in 4 1/3 innings, but needed 80 pitches to do so. Brennan Bernardino (1-1), the first of five Red Sox relievers, earned the win. Tossing his team-high fifth quality start of the season, Joe Ryan (1-2) allowed four hits and three earned runs while striking out five.
UP NEXT
The Twins start a four-game home series today with the Mariners. RHP Simeon Woods Richardson (1-0, 2.45) is the scheduled Twins starter against Seattle RHP Luis Castillo (3-4, 3.46).

MINOTAUROS
MINOT, ND – The Minot Minotauros have been unstoppable in the postseason so far, as they secured a comfortable 6-2 win over the Bismarck Bobcats on Saturday. With this victory, they have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the Central Division Finals. The Tauros led 3-0 after one period with a pair of goals by Cayden Casey and a tally by Nicholas Sewecke. Sewecke added his second of the night in the second period and Niklas Ketonen lit the lamp also as Minot led 5-1 at the end of two. Sewecke would complete the hat-trick early in the third period. Lukas Swedin made 23 saves for the Tauros. Up next, the Tauros head to Bismarck on Friday for Game 3 at the VFW Sports Center with a chance to close out the Central Division Finals.

MINOT STATE BASEBALL
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (MSU) – It was a disappointing end to the baseball season for the Beavers on the road Saturday afternoon as Minot State struggled, falling to the No. 12 Augustana Vikings 12-2 despite the efforts of senior Ricky Apodaca, who went 1-for-3 with a double. Sophomore Jonah Prokott (4-2) started and took the loss on the mound for Minot State (15-34 overall, 12-27 NSIC), which saw its season come to an end with the loss. Senior Noah Balandran was a bright spot out of the bullpen, going one shutout inning without allowing a hit, walking none and striking out one. Trailing 10-0, the Beavers first put runs on the board in the fifth inning. Minot State managed to push across two runs in the inning as Miles Iverson and Brent Riddle each had an RBI. The Beavers were unable to get any closer, as Augustana added two runs to their tally on the way to a 12-2 final.

MINOT STATE SOFTBALL-HONORS
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (MSU) – A strong run at the NSIC Softball Tournament earned a pair of Beaver players All-Tournament Team honors as the league wrapped up its postseason action Saturday. Minot State third baseman Hannah Murray and outfielder Sara Van Wickler each were honored as they were named to the NSIC Softball All-Tournament Team following Saturday’s title game, a 9-0 win by Augustana over Minnesota Duluth. Murray was 4-for-7 at the plate with a double and two runs scored, and she also stole a base for Minot State, which went 2-1 in the tournament and advanced to Friday’s semifinals. Defensively she anchored the Beavers (24-19 overall) with four putouts and nine assists without an error in three games. Van Wickler led the offense going 5-for-10 with three doubles, a home run, and a team-best four RBIs in three games, while also scoring two runs and stealing a base. She also contributed three putouts and an assist from the outfield defensively.
