Seuntjens, compiling a second shutout appearance in his last three appearances, struck out 15 Dordt College batters and gave up just one hit, in a 9-0 win that wrapped up Thursday\u2019s twinbill sweep. Mount came back the next day in the doubleheader opener with a complete-game four-hitter that featured 10 strikeouts to help lead the way to a 4-0 decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8009020545MsoNormal\"><span class=\"yiv8009020545\">Morningside, improving to 11-3 overall, also got some offensive superlatives over the four contests. Sophomore Jordan Pierce (Carlisle, Iowa) led the way in Seuntjens\u2019 dandy with two hits and three RBI; sophomore Levi Davidson (Dakota City, Neb.) and senior Drew Kasperbauer (Sioux City, Iowa) led the attack in a late-innings comeback in the series\u2019 finale with Kasperbauer producing three hits and winding up only a double shy of the cycle and Davidson had two hits including a double with two runs scored; junior Derrick Johnson (Golden Valley, Minn.) singled twice and scored once in Mount\u2019s masterpiece; and Davidson and junior Dylan Gasner (Austin, Minn.) each drove in a pair of runs in the series opener.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv8009020545MsoNormal\"><span class=\"yiv8009020545\">The Maroon are scheduled to begin their 2019 home slate Wednesday, March 20.
