Saints Slug 18 Runs, Rally In Seventh To Split Series With Walk-Off - The Saints (7-27, 6-19) piled on the Wildcats (19-17, 14-12) in the early goings of the first game.

Bryant Nakagawa hit a home run, his second of his career, while Kahi Hirano had a bases-loaded triple. SMU led 17-4 after six innings. In the series finale, trailing by four in their final inning, Adam Eskil doubled down to left center, scoring two, followed by a two RBI single by Ryan Colvin. With the score tied, runners on second and third and one out, McNicoll sent everybody home with a fly ball to center field, scoring Sordahl and walking off the 8-7 victory.
 
Inouye, Oshiro Sweep GNAC Player of the Week Awards -  Ryne Oshiro and Tanner Inouye swept the GNAC Player of the Week Awards in April after hitting .625 average and three home runs, and a seven strikeout complete game for the duo respectively. Oshiro began the four-game series with perfect timing. In the 10th inning, game tied, Oshiro connected on a ball to right field for his first collegiate home run, leading the Saints to a 5-4 victory. He went on in the series to hit two more home runs, driving six RBIs, while hitting 10-for-16 (.625 avg). Oshiro scored six times, with one double and worked three walks, including an intentional walk.

Going the distance for the first time in his career, Inouye managed to strike out a season high seven batters.  He only allowed two runs, one earned, to score on six hits.
 
Clark Streby Provides Lights Out Punch – The transfer from Walla Walla CC has given Saint Martin's a legitimate ace in their starting rotation. In 46.2 innings of work, Streby is seventh in the GNAC with a 4.24 ERA. He ranks tied for third in earned runs allowed (16), fourth in strikeouts (46), and innings pitched, and eighth in ERA. Streby has claimed four of the eight wins for the Saints, and enters the week winning four of his last six starts.
 
Tanner Inouye Establishing His Presence In GNAC – Before the third inning of his start against MSUB, where he allowed five runs, Inouye had been one of the most efficient pitchers for Saint Martin's, holding an ERA of 2.12. He finally qualified to be on the GNAC leaderboard after tossing a complete game against NNU. Inouye ranks third in the GNAC in ERA at 3.54 in 40.2 inning pitched and 27 strikeouts.
 
Steven Sordahl Picking Up Right Where He Left Off – As one of the best hitters for the Saints in 2017, Sordahl once again is near the top of SMU's batting average. Hitting .276 in 36 games, Sordahl has recorded 43 hits, with three double, two triples, 16 RBIs, 13 walks and five stolen bases.
 
Austin Feist Slugging The Ball – After a slow start, the All-Conference selection from 2017 found his grove in GNAC play.

Feist also leads the team with five home runs, 22 RBIs, and tied for ninth in GNAC with 43 hits.
 
Ryne Oshiro Provides Pop Up The Middle – The freshman had himself a breakout series against Montana State Billings, going 7-for-14, with one double and three RBIs. He followed it up with a season highlight performance against NNU, hitting .625 with three home runs, six RBIs and six runs scored.
