The Bison fell 3‑2 to the Tommies on Tuesday night, a result that kept the series tightly contested and left the visitors just a single run shy of a comeback.
Ryan’s Milestone
Freshman right‑hander Sheamus Ryan turned heads by finishing his first career complete game, scattering six strikeouts over eight innings while walking none. His composure on the mound gave the Bison a chance to stay within striking distance.
The scoring opened with Joe Roder’s third‑inning single that put St. Thomas on the board, but Dante Smith answered with a solo homer in the fourth to level the game at 1‑1. The Tommies later extended their lead to 3‑1 with an RBI groundout and a clutch RBI triple.
Chase Womack cut the deficit to 3‑2 with an RBI single in the sixth, and the Bison rallied with five hits from five different batters, underscoring a balanced offensive effort as they prepare for a 1:00 p.m. showdown the following day.
