OMAHA, NE - Erik Barron was brilliant in game one on Thursday night for the Comets, the senior from San Jose, CA threw a complete game shutout to lead Mayville State past Presentation College 1-0 on Thursday night. The pitching was strong on both sides, but Barron was able to win the pitcher's duel and give his team a big conference win.

The Comets were able to get some clutch hitting from Riley Nelson in the bottom of the seventh inning to score Chase Knudson for the winning run. It was all set up when Mason Pryzbilla reached on an error with one out in the inning, then was able to advance to second, Knudson would end up courtesy running for Pryzbilla. 

Then with two outs, Nelson delivered a base hit to right field to bring in Knudson for the game winner in walk-off fashion. 

Barron was the winning pitcher in the game. He allowed five hits while completing the shutout over seven innings, striking out eight.
