North Dakota State regained a one-run lead in the fourth inning, but Hayden Lewis answered for Omaha with an RBI single that brought Nick Riggs home, evening the score at two runs each. Pitcher Maddox Meyer, who is on the College Baseball Foundation’s Pitcher of the Year Award Watch List, pitched six innings for Omaha, striking out five batters and allowing two runs and one walk before Cameron Teinert took over on the mound.
Omaha took control of the game in the seventh inning. Trout hit an RBI single that scored Henry Zipay for a 3-2 lead. Riggs then followed with a triple to right-center field, driving in Trout and extending Omaha’s advantage to two runs.
