MANKATO, Minn. – The Minnesota State, Mankato Mavericks picked up right where they left off on Friday – scoring early and often.  The Mavericks claimed three wins over the Northern State University Wolves on Saturday, finishing off Friday's suspended second game 10-1 before taking a 9-2 victory in Game 1 of Saturday's regularly scheduled doubleheader and rallying past the Wolves 7-6 in the nightcap to complete the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference series sweep.

The Mavericks, who led 1-0 when play was suspended due to heavy rains on Friday, scattered 13 hits and nine runs through the remaining innings when play resumed on Saturday afternoon, while holding the Wolves to just six hits and one run.

Centerfielder Aaron Kappes was 2-for-4 from the plate for the Wolves, scoring the team's lone run of the game, while first baseman Nathan Zacher was left on base five times.

Game 2 of the day was much the same, as the Mavericks scored nine runs on 12 hits.  MSU tallied at least one run in all but one of their six offensive half innings.  The Wolves, meanwhile, managed just three hits as a team, but did draw five walks on the day.  Kappes was the offensive sparkplug once again, going 2-for-3 with a run scored, one RBI and a walk.

The Wolves finally came to life in the third game of the day, but a strong offensive output was thwarted by a dramatic walk-off home run by MSU's Geno Glynn, a 3-run blast to right center in the bottom of the seventh that lifted the Mavericks to the 7-6 victory.

After getting down 1-0 after two innings, the Wolves took their first lead of the series in the top of the third when sophomore Austin Simons smacked a clutch 2-out, 2-RBI triple that gave the Wolves the 2-1 edge.

The Mavericks would tie things up in the bottom of the inning, but the Wolves pulled away from the 2-2 deadlock with a run in each of the fourth and fifth innings and two more in the top of the sixth off Andrew Lundsetter's 2-out double that plated both Kappes and James Paul.  That 6-3 lead held until the bottom of the seventh.

With one out and runners on second and third, freshman Ben Kincaid came through with an RBI single to make it a 2-run game.  Glynn, the senior third baseman, then tallied his third homer of the season to end the game in dramatic fashion.

NSU drops to 4-12 on the year and 0-4 in NSIC play, while the Mavericks, competing for the first time in the NSIC, improve to 11-9 overall and 4-0 in conference games.  The Wolves will be back in action next weekend, hosting Southwest Minnesota State for a 4-game series.  The home-opening series is slated to start at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, while Sunday's doubleheader is scheduled for noon.
