MSU tacked one more on in the top of the seventh on their way to a 5-2 win over Dakota Wesleyan. 

The Comets got on the board in the first inning with Tai Yamamoto driving in Dayna Gutierrez on a base hit up the middle. Brooke Roeges then  doubled on the next at bat to bring in Jocelyn Ontiveros to put Mayville State up 2-0 early in the game. 

Dakota Wesleyan tied things up at two in the third inning when Alexis Konda hit into a fielder's choice, scoring a run and matching the Comets' score at 2 runs. From there, both teams were quiet until McKown started the scoring in the top of the sixth, pushing the Comets ahead down the stretch.
