Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 CROOKSTON, Minn.- The University of Minnesota Crookston baseball team fell 5-0 and 21-11 Sat., May 3rd in a pair of Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) tilts against University of Minnesota Duluth in frigid temperatures in early May at UMC Baseball Field in Crookston, Minn.

In game two, the Golden Eagles led 7-6 but Minnesota Duluth would score 15 runs in the last three innings, guided by three Minnesota Crookston errors. The second game was a sloppy one from the onset as both team's battled the cold and intermittent sleet and had nine errors amongst both teams.

In game one, Matt Korte (Sr., P/3B, St. Cloud, Minn./Accounting), one of eight seniors who were honored in between games as part of Senior Day, made his last start in a Golden Eagle uniform.

Madsen, normally a right-hander, batted left in the game.

In game two, Richie Navratil (Sr., P, Blansko, Czech Republic/Sports and Rec Management) made his final start in the Maroon and Gold.
