The ending of the season wasn’t totally happy for the St. Scholastica baseball team but the Saints got a win and made a little history while splitting a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader at Wade Stadium on Saturday against Saint John’s.
The Saints routed the Johnnies 14-0 in the opener but dropped the season finale 6-5 due to a late rally from the Johnnies.
CSS broke the opener wide open with a six-run fourth inning, which was more than enough for pitchers Zack Hlinsky (five innings) and Payton Jeffries (two), who combined to blank the Johnnies on four hits. Hlinsky notched six strikeouts.
On the offensive end, Kyle Oswald and Sam Shopbell had three hits apiece, with Oswald driving in three runs and Shopbell two.
CSS held a 4-2 lead going to the ninth inning of game two and had the Johnnies down to their last strike, but three straight RBI singles led to four runs for the visitors. CSS got its first two runners on and into scoring position with one out but got only one of them in.
Levi Stubbles had two of CSS’s seven hits. Jake Schelonka had three hits in the doubleheader and became the Saints’ all-time leader for career hits with 248.
CSS finished the season in a tie for sixth in the MIAC with an overall record of 22-18 and 9-11 in conference play.
Saints defeated in final doubleheader of season
St. Scholastica recorded a run in its final at-bat of the season on Saturday at Macalester, but not the other ones as the Saints were swept 9-0 and 5-1 in MIAC play.
Two singles to start the top of the seventh set up Victoria Nelson for a one-out RBI groundout to get the Saints on the board in game two but their hit total for the contest remained at six. Emma Bolin had two of them.
In the first game, Macalester pitcher Martha Miller recorded a five-inning perfect game, striking out eight.
CSS ends the season with a 10-30 record, 6-16 in MIAC play.
