The visiting Dukes led 6-0 before the Bullets put together a rally in their final three at-bats.

Brookings tallied a lone run in the fifth and came up with four more in the bottom of the seventh before leaving runners on the corners in the one-run loss.

Kohji Numata led off the fifth with a walk; stole second; advanced to third on Jake Vlaminck’s single; and then scored when Cayden Jacobsma put the ball in play.

In the seventh, Jacobsma drew a walk; moved to second on Gabe Wounded Head’s one-out single; and then went to third on a walk to Kane Kurtenbach, which loaded the bases.

Carter Merritt singled, which plated Jacobsma; Tanner Huber took one for the team, which forced Wounded Head to make it 6-3, before Kurtenbach and Merritt later scored on a Renner error to get the Bullets within 6-5.

But a Bullet strikeout ended the game with the tying run on third and the winning run on first.

Jacobsma suffered the loss after throwing five innings and giving up six runs – one earned – on five hits and three walks with one strikeout.

In the nightcap, the Bullets built a 5-0 lead through three innings before Renner rallied to take a 9-6 edge through 4 1/2 frames.

But the home team responded with four in the bottom of the fifth and then tacked on two in the sixth for the two-run win.

Jeffrey Fuks took one for the team with one out in the second; advanced to second and third on wild pitches; and then scored on Kane Kurtenbach’s groundout.

Brookings later loaded the bases before Caden Wright was forced in on a base on balls for the five-run edge.

In the fifth, Merritt led off with a base hit before Fuks again stood in and took one for the team. With two outs, Bartels’ single plated Merritt and Fuks. Bartels stole second and scored on Huber’s RBI single as Huber later scored on a wild pitch.

In the sixth, Wright walked; stole second; advanced to third on a throwing error; and later scored on Kurtenbach’s single. Fuks had already reached on an error and also scored on Kurtenbach’s hit.
