WAYNE, NEB. -- The Bemidji State baseball team held its “home” opener nearly 500 miles from campus on Saturday, and the Beavers snapped an 11-game losing streak in the process.
Playing as the home team on the scoreboard in Wayne, Neb., due to poor field conditions at BSU, Bemidji State split with Wayne State in an NSIC doubleheader. The Wildcats won game one 11-0, but the Beavers took game two 11-6 for their first conference win.
BSU (4-20, 1-9 NSIC) got shut out in the opener, the team’s 11th straight loss, yet the bats were lively in the nightcap.
Wayne State (12-13, 6-6 NSIC) led 5-0 through three innings, but Bemidji State came back with a vengeance.
Tom Keohen tripled in the first two runs of the fourth, and Carter Simon followed with a sacrifice fly to make it a 5-3 game. In the fifth, Sam Kalberer, Keohen and Derek Dolezal all had RBI singles -- plating a combined four runs -- to swing the lead their way at 7-5.

Isaiah Biehn added another RBI single in the sixth inning, and although WSC trimmed the difference to 8-6 in the seventh, Kalberer put the exclamation mark on the game in the eighth. Kalberer blasted a three-run home run, his third homer of the season, to clinch the Beavers’ first victory since March 10.
Jackson Back earned the win on the mound, going five innings and giving up five runs off 10 hits with four strikeouts.
The rubber match of the series begins at noon on Sunday, April 3, back in Wayne.
