St. Olaf 5, Macalester 3 | Box Score

Junior Brock Brumley threw three innings of scoreless relief and St. Olaf scored three times over the final two innings to grab game one by a 5-3 score. Trailing 3-2 in the sixth, the Oles got RBI singles from sophomore Matthew Kulesa and first year Brendan Goldman to go ahead.

After taking over in the fifth, Brumley limited Macalester to two hits with one walk and one strikeout over his three innings to improve to 3-1 on the season. Junior Sam Lavin worked the first four frames before giving way to Brumley after the leadoff batter reached in the fifth.

Sophomore Evan Hammonds, Lavin, and Goldman had two hits apiece for the Oles, who outhit the Scots by a 10-8 count. Hammonds scored twice in the win, while five Oles knocked in a run.

St. Olaf got on the board right away in the first when first year Frank Lavin singled in Hammonds after Hammonds and Sam Lavin singled earlier in the inning to put two runners on for the younger Lavin. The Scots answered in the first, as the first three batters of the game reached to load the bases, but Sam Lavin limited the damage to just one run.

Junior Joey Glampe drove in a run with a ground out in the top of the third to give the Oles a 2-1 lead, but Macalester got a two-out, two-run home run from Niko Alexander in the home half of the inning to take a one-run lead of its own.

St. Olaf went ahead for good in the top of the sixth with a pair of runs. After Glampe doubled to start the inning, Kulesa bounced a single up the middle to tie the game and, two batters later, Goldman singled up the middle to plate Kulesa for the go-ahead run. The Oles got an insurance run in the seventh when Hammonds led off with a double and scored on an RBI single by first year Breckin Hadley.

St. Olaf 11, Macalester 4 | Box Score

After falling in an early 3-0 hole, St. Olaf scored in five-straight innings to tally 11 of the game's final 12 runs to complete the sweep with an 11-4 victory in game two. First year Kevin Steel and sophomore Justin Isaacson combined to pitch all nine innings for the Oles, who held the Scots to just one run over the final seven innings.

Steel collected his second collegiate win after allowing just two earned runs (four runs) on six hits over the first five innings with three walks and five strikeouts. Isaacson tossed the final four innings – the longest appearance of his career – and did not give up a run, yielding just two hits with one walk and one strikeout.

Four Oles had multi-hit games to help St. Olaf reach double figures in hits for the sixth-straight game with a dozen. Sam Lavin was 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI, and three runs scored, while Glampe was 3-for-4 with a run and two RBI. Hadley had a pair of hits, drove in two runs, and scored another run, while junior Brian Nevin had two hits, a walk, a run, and two RBI. Frank Lavin drove in three runs as well.

Macalester scored twice in the first and once in the second to take a 3-0 lead early on but left the bases loaded in the second. St. Olaf scored three runs after the second out in the top of the third to tie the game, getting an RBI double from Sam Lavin followed by a two-run single by Glampe to draw even.

The teams traded runs in the fourth to remain tied headed to the fifth, as the Scots canceled out Nevin's RBI single in the top of the inning with a bases-loaded infield single in the bottom of the frame. Steel got a double play to limit Macalester to one run and keep the game tied.

In the next half inning, St. Olaf broke the tie and took the lead for good with a four-run inning. After coming to bat with the bases loaded and nobody out, Frank Lavin delivered a two-run double to left to give the Oles the lead. Nevin added a run-scoring single later in the inning before first year Mason Buck knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly.

St. Olaf added to its lead with a bases-loaded walk to Frank Lavin in the sixth and a two-out, two-run single by Hadley in the seventh. Isaacson took care of the rest, allowing juts one Macalester runner to reach scoring position over his four innings of work.
