Friday, the Gophers needed just 4.2 innings in their offense-heavy victory.
Saturday, it took the Gophers 10 innings, but they achieved the same result.
Minnesota outlasted North Dakota State to win its NCAA regional game 4-1.
The game was tightly contested throughout, but third baseman Kaitlyn Richardson said the team didn’t lose confidence.
“I think we knew we were going to win the whole time,” Richardson said.
Minnesota threatened to break the 1-1 tie in the seventh and eighth innings but didn’t break through until the 10th.
