Sean Arbaut - Minot State pitcher Reegan Floyd delivers a pitch Saturday afternoon in her no-hitter against visiting Regina.

Sophomore pitcher Reegan Floyd racked up a career-high 13 strikeouts and recorded her first no-hitter in the circle, leading the way for Minot State which swept a non-conference doubleheader from Regina, 8-0 and 11-1 on Saturday in the Air-Supported Bubble on the MSU campus.

Floyd (5-5) dominated in the circle in the opener while freshman teammate Kierra Fournier (2-3) did the same in the second game as she struck out eight and scattered two hits as the Beavers (11-9 overall) returned to the field for the first time in three weeks with two dominating wins.

The two teams meet for another non-conference doubleheader on Sunday at noon in “The Bubble.”

Gabi Dawyduk gave Minot State an early lead with an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning in the opener, then Paige Kellogg’s two-run single made it 3-0 in the bottom of the third.

Minot State stretched the lead to 6-0 on a three-run double by Courtney Chatburn in the same inning, then the Beavers finished off the 8-run, mercy-rule victory as pinch-runner Taylor Smith scored on an error and Taryn Bennett scored the game-ending run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the fifth.

Kellogg led the offensive with a pair of hits in the opener.

In the nightcap, the Beavers again struck in their first at-bat as Brooklyn Morrison doubled in a run before Minot State tacked on four in the bottom of the second.

Bennett, Sara Van Wickler, and Izzy Penner each drove in a run and Smith stole home for a 5-0 lead.

A lead that grew to 11-0 in the fourth as Van Wickler had an inside-the-park home run to ignite a six-run rally that saw Morrison and Ann LaCount each drive in a pair of runs, and Bennett added the other RBI.

Penner, Morrison, and Bennett each picked up a pair of hits to lead Minot State’s offense in game two.
