No. 19-ranked St. Thomas used just three pitchers that allowed just three runs in 17 innings in Sunday's home doubleheader baseball sweep of Concordia-Moorhead.

The Toms (13-3) won 4-3 in 10 innings, then closed out the sweep with a 3-0 win to move to 6-0 early in the 20-game conference race. Coach Chris Olean's team has three sweeps over the last eight days and has allowed just 12 runs during that span.

Senior Brady Johnson's two-out, walk-off double ended a seven-inning scoring drought for UST in the opener. Senior Cory Quinlan reached on a two-out single and scored on Johnson's liner to the gap in right center.

It was the second two-out game-winning hit for Johnson this week -- four days earlier, his single in the fifth inning snapped a 2-2 tie in a 3-2 win against Augsburg.

Two years earlier, UST was down to its last strike trailing the Cobbers at home 8-7 when Johnson's RBI single tied the game, and the Toms later won 9-8 with a run in the eighth inning.

Game-one Tommie starter senior Eric Veglahn struck out 10 and didn't walk a batter but left after seven innings with the game deadlocked 3-3. Sophomore Ryan Zimmerman allowed one hit and three walks and took the victory with three innings of scoreless relief. Veglahn remains 21-1 on his career and this season has 43 strikeouts while allowing just one walk in 34 innings.

In game two, senior Dominic Reed had his first complete-game shutout in 14 starts at UST. He scattered four hits and two walks and fanned four. The Cobbers got the first two runners aboard in the last inning with none out, but Reed got a fly out and a 6-4-3 double play to close out the win and the shutout.

St. Thomas got hits from nine different players on the day and 16 hits total. Waylon Bemboom's solo HR to lead off the first inning tied game one 1-1.

In game two, St. Thomas scored all three runs in the third inning on Keller Knoll's single, Bemboom's RBI double, Ben Waltz's RBI single, and a throwing error that let Jake Smith score from third base.
