GRAND FORKS – Before Tuesday, University of Jamestown Softball had a true hot streak, with 10 straight wins.  Then, an NCAA Division I program cooled the Jimmies off.

North Dakota swept Jamestown in a doubleheader 3-1 and 3-0 at Albrecht Field.

Game 1: North Dakota 3, Jamestown 1
Kayla Quintanilla started the game well for Jamestown (24-10) with an RBI single in the top of the first inning. However, she was thrown out at the plate to end the inning, trying to score from second on an infield error.

North Dakota (21-18) scored their runs in the third inning on a two-run double by Makenna Alexander and an RBI single by Katelyn Neumayer.

Hope Ransome (7-5) had her personal four-game winning streak end in the circle. She pitched five innings, giving up three runs and seven hits with four strikeouts, two walks and a hit batter.

Jackie Albrecht (2-11) allowed one run and five hits in six innings with five strikeouts for UND.

Game 2: North Dakota 3, Jamestown 0
North Dakota (22-18) snapped a scoreless tie with two fourth-inning runs as Hailey Bethune and Angie Dumlao delivered RBI singles. Neumayer singled in another run in the fifth inning.

Hawks’ starter Unity Nelson (5-2) pitched six innings, striking out seven and walking one. She combined with Makela Carr on a seven-hit shutout.

Lauren Weigel hit a first-inning triple for the Jimmies, but was stranded. Jamestown (24-11) had the first two runners on in the third inning, but UND turned a double play to end the inning. The Jimmies had runners on first and third with one out in the top of the seventh, but Sidnie Aasen and Trinity Gregg struck out to end the game. Jamestown stranded seven runners.

Abby Blair (8-5) lost after winning seven straight decisions, giving up three runs and eight hits with three strikeouts and a walk in five innings.

Jamestown will return to NSAA play Saturday against rival VCSU in a doubleheader in Valley City. The Jimmies, 8-0 in NSAA action, lead Dickinson State by one game.
