St. Scholastica came painfully close to a doubleheader sweep of Augsburg in Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference baseball on Sunday afternoon before dropping the second game to the Auggies 9-8 in 11 innings.
CSS had already won the first game 1-0 on a seven-inning combined shutout from pitchers Zach Hlinsky and Jake Schelonka and was ahead 8-2 in the bottom of the eighth of the nine-inning second game. The hosts cut the deficit in half in an eighth inning in which three Augsburg batters were hit by pitches.
CSS still held an 8-5 lead in the ninth and got the first two outs before two singles, an error and a double tied the game. The Saints came up empty with the bases loaded and one out in the 10th before Augsburg won the game in the bottom of the 11th on a walkoff single.
Four Saints had two hits apiece in game two, with three Saints driving in two runs apiece.
In game one, Finley Spicer’s first-inning sacrifice fly was all the offense CSS needed. Kyle Oswald was 2-for-3 and scored a run. Hlinsky allowed three hits in five shutout innings, while Schelonka worked two clean innings for a save.
On Thursday, the Saints dropped an 11-5 decision at 18th-ranked Gustavus Adolphus. Spicer was 3-for-4 with a single and a double, while Schelonka was 2-for-4 with a homer and three RBIs. The second scheduled game of the doubleheader was 4-4 after nine innings but was suspended due to darkness and will be resumed at an unspecified later date.
The Saints (8-8, 2-2 MIAC) are scheduled to return to Wade Stadium on Wednesday afternoon for a MIAC doubleheader vs. St. Olaf.

The Saints were shut out in game one on four hits, two of them by Lauren Laviano.
In game two, CSS had four more hits, two from Emma Bolin, but were held off the scoreboard.
