Dickinson, N.D. – Mayville State Comets Baseball kicked off their 2026 Frontier Conference series play with a four game road series at Dickinson State. 

"It was two different days for us. I have no idea what team I was coaching on Saturday, but as I shared with the guys after the game, that wasn't us," said head coach Billy Tomblin. "It sure was not the same group from the previous 24 games and we collectively had 16 hours to find us and play our brand of baseball."

Game 1 – L 6-9

• Bode Roberts delivered the biggest swing of the day with a 6th-inning grand slam to right field, turning a 5–2 deficit into a 6–5 Mayville State lead.
• Kevin Conway stayed productive at the plate, going 2-for-3 and adding a sacrifice fly RBI in the 5th inning as the Comets first tied the game at 2–2.
• Garret Lundmark gave Mayville State strong strikeout numbers early, recording 8 strikeouts in 4.1 innings before Dickinson State broke things open in the 5th and 6th innings.

Game 2 – L 6-13

Game 3 – W 19-3

• The Comets exploded for 19 runs on 19 hits, with the biggest damage coming in the middle innings. Mayville State scored 6 runs in the 4th, then added 4 in the 5th, 3 in the 6th, and 3 more in the 7th to turn a tied game into a blowout.
• Jack McQueen had a 3-run home run in the 4th inning, part of the six-run frame that broke the game open and pushed the lead to 9–3.

Game 4 – W 12-8

• Jack McQueen led the offense, finishing 3-for-4 with 4 RBI and 4 runs scored, including a 2-run home run in the 8th inning that gave the Comets key insurance late.

• Keegan Neva went 3-for-3 with 3 runs scored and 2 walks, helping spark multiple rallies from the bottom half of the lineup.
• Even after Dickinson State cut the game to 6–5 in the 4th, the Comets answered with runs in the 5th, 7th, and 8th innings to close out the series with a win.

"We showed up today and I emphasize we because that's what is was all day, we us, together as a team finding a way. Pitching was not where it has been, off weekend for us on the mound which we will address and make some adjustments going into next weekend but the bats picked them up and we found a way to win two games," said Tomblin.
