TUCSON, AZ – On the last day of their spring trip, the BLC Vikings took on Marian University (WI) in a double-header. Marian was picked to finish sixth in the Northern Athletic Collegiate Conference (NACC) and had not played yet before today's game. The Vikings lost game one by a score of 3-0 and fell in game two 18-3.
 
Sophomore Dallas McBroom pitched a solid game, going six innings with four hits and three runs, but he did not get the run support needed to get the win. The Vikings managed five hits total with freshman Brady Schuster leading the way with two. Grant Becher and Ross Beumer recorded the only extra-base hits with a double and a triple respectively. The Vikings left seven runners on base compared to four for Marian.
 
The Vikings trailed 3-1 in the third inning of game two, but three runs in the fourth and then eight runs in the fifth for Marian broke the game open. Caldeen drove in the first run of the game with a sac-fly. Ross Beumer doubled in the fifth to score Jared Gesell and Grant Becher followed up with a double to score Beumer. The Vikings tallied six hits in game two compared to 15 for Marian.
