The Hawks threatened in the top of the first, putting runners at second and third, but starter Padraic Getchell induced a pop up to end the inning.

It was scoreless through 2.5 innings until Ryan Burmeister scored on a Hilbert error as the Saints led 1-0 after three innings.

St. Scholastica opened it up in the bottom of the fourth, scoring six runs on four hits. Sam Christofferson tripled and then scored on a Bret Moody single. Later in the inning, Burmeister drove in two runs with a single. Burmeister later scored on a double steal. Drew Colvard and Bernsdorf also had RBIs in the inning.

Getchell improves to 2-0 with four strikeouts in five innings of work. Jake Fugere and Kevin Kunik combined to pitch two scoreless innings in relief. Burmeister was 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs scored. Moody also had a pair of hits.

The Saints (6-3) will next be in action on Wednesday, March 25 when it hopes to play at the newly-renovated Wade Stadium against Bridge Rival and future conference foe the University of Wisconsin-Superior. It would be the earliest known home game in program history.
