Dakota State scored three times in the top of the ninth but it wasn’t enough to tie the Tigers and force a bottom frame of the inning. Pierre alum, Bradley Dean went 2-4 on the evening with two singles and a stolen base. The Tigers did all its damage on the Trojans in the early innings scoring three in the second and third and another two in the fourth.
