The Marshall A's were swept in Mankato on Saturday afternoon by the Twins. The A's were shutout in both games, 7-0 and 5-0.

Nate Dickhausen (6-2) took the loss in the first game, giving up seven runs - five earned - over 4 1/3 innings. Ben Bartling (5-1) gave up one unearned run in five innings of work, but took the loss in game two.

The two losses mean the A's will be the #4 seed in Section 2B. The A's will host the #5 seed New Ulm Brewers on Friday night at 7:30 pm at Legion Field.

If the A's win on Friday night, they will travel to #1 seed Austin Greyhounds for a best of 3 series over Saturday and Sunday.
