The Jamestown Jimmies baseball team split a doubleheader with Winona State on Monday, winning the first game 4-3 with a comeback in the bottom of the seventh inning before losing the second game 10-0. The games were played at Augustana University's Ronken Field in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, after being moved from Jamestown due to recent snow and cold weather.

Why it matters

The split doubleheader keeps Jamestown in the middle of the pack in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) standings, as they look to build momentum heading into the final stretch of the season. The dramatic comeback win in the opener also shows the team's resilience and ability to win close games.
