Kyle Halverson had a key RBI hit in each game and five Tommie pitchers shut out St. Scholastica over the day's last 13 innings to lead St. Thomas Baseball to Tuesday's 5-2, 2-1 non-conference sweep at Wade Stadium.

The Purple (25-5) have won 11 in a row and 21 of their last 23, and lowered their Division III-best ERA to 1.43. St. Thomas pitchers fanned seven and didn't walk a batter while allowing two runs in nine hits over the 14 innings.

The Toms have held opponents to two or less runs in 22 of 30 games, including eight shutouts.

St. Scholastica (17-7) had a nine-game home win streak halted.

Avery Lehman had his hitting streak end at nine games in the nightcap, but he drove in the go-ahead run and an insurance run in game one when St. Thomas rallied from a 2-0 deficit. Halverson, Owen Best and Lehman had RBIs in the comeback victory.

Freshman Jack Blesch (five innings) and sophomore T.J. Consterina (two innings) blanked CSS over the final six innings of game win. Blesch moved to 3-0, and Constertina took his second save.

Avery Lehman had his hitting streak end at nine games in the nightcap, but he drove in the go-ahead run and an insurance run in game one.

In the second inning of game two, Charlie Bartholomew walked, was bunted to second by Max Moris, and scored on Halverson's single.

Freshman Kolby Gartner (4 1-3 innings), redshirt freshman Evan Maass and redshirt freshman Jeremy Klick (two innings) combined on the game-two shutout.

Gartner retired 10 of the first 11 Saints batters. Maass came on with runners at second and third and one out in the fifth but froze the runners in scoring position to retire the side.

Klick had the tying and winning runs on base with a hit batter and an error with one out in the home seventh. But he coaxed a game-ending double play to close out the sweep.

Redshirt freshman Sam Kulesa, who had a double and single in game one, started the game-ending double play  at second base. He had nine assists or putouts on Tuesday and has played error free this season in 111 defensive chances.

St. Thomas has added a home game Friday May 14 at 2 p.m., a nine-inning clash against UMAC Conference champion Northwestern-St. Paul (28-8).
