Behind a complete game from Robert Brust, the Mount Saint Mary College Baseball team took the series finale from St. Joseph's-L.I. on Monday afternoon 5-1. The senior right-hander scattered five hits and fanned nine in his first win of the season. After allowing a run in the second on two wind-blown base hits, Brust settled in, allowing a walk in the fourth and a pair of singles in the sixth. Brust fanned the final batter of the sixth inning and retired the side in order in the final three frames to move to 1-1 on the season. Brust allowed just one more runner to reach scoring position after the second and retired the final 10 batters he faced. Brust allowed just five hits in the game, one for extra bases, allowing only the one run. He walked one batter and struck out nine in his second start of the season.

If Saint Mary's University's coach Nick Winecke was concerned that his squad might show any ill effects after dropping the first two games of their three-game Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference series against St. Olaf, the Cardinals quickly put those fears to rest. Saint Mary's erupted for five, third-inning runs and their offense never showed signs of letting up, as the Cardinals scored in each of the final five innings they batted en route to an 11-0 victory at Mark Almli Field. Justin Weinberg finished the afternoon 4-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBIs to pace the Cardinals' 12-hit attack, while Taylor Anderson had two hits — a double and a triple — in four at-bats, scored twice and drove in a run. Eight of the 10 Cardinals who had an at-bat recorded at least one hit.

The top of the order provided the damage for the Wolves as the 1-4 batters combined for eight hits and 11 runs batted in.
