COLLEGEVILLE, Minn.—Bethel University's baseball team returned to Collegeville for a Sunday night doubleheader against Hamline University. The Royals (17-5, 4-2 MIAC) scored four runs in the top of the first inning of game one, but mustered just one run in the final 13 innings, which resulted in a split against Hamline University. The Pipers (10-12, 3-3 MIAC) went scoreless for the first 13 innings, but an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh in game two proved to be enough to win game two by a final score of 1-0.
Â
