Saints Fall Short In Road Losses At Concordia - After dropping the first game to Concordia 7-2, the Saints and the Cavaliers battled it out in an epic 11-inning affair in game two. Mickey Walker pitched four innings, striking out nine, before Concordia finally managed to pull off the walk-off 6-5 win in the 11th inning.
 
Coming off a sweep of Central Washington, the Saints were looking for another series win to help secure their chances in the GNAC Championships. However, Concordia managed to rough up the Saints' starters in Aaron Shoup and Tanner Inouye. The Saints' bullpen was able to keep the games close, as Garrison Ritter, Robbie Shineman, and Walker combined to throw nine shutout innings in relief. But in the 11th, Luke Hare allowed the first run from the Saints' bullpen, the walk-off sac fly to close out the doubleheader.
 
Baseball Earns Two Critical Wins At Concordia In Playoff Push - Needing two wins on the road to regain possession of the fourth and final GNAC Championship, the Saints pulled off an extra innings win, and lights out pitching performance in game two to secure the two must have victories.
 
A day after Concordia stole an 11-inning victory over the Saints, Saint Martin's returned the favor by scoring three runs in the 10th of game one. Three RBI singles in extra innings fueled the victory and gave the Saints momentum in game two. Ryan Dorney pitched two shutout innings to start game two, followed Benjamin Wadowski's 3.2 innings of relief work. Mickey Walker collected his sixth save of the season, closing out the final 1.1 innings, while striking out two.
 
Mickey Walker Named GNAC Pitcher of the Week - Walker first appeared on Friday, going four innings, and punching out nine Cavaliers, while allowing only two hits to help keep the Saints tied with Concordia.

He allowed one hit but no runs, and struck out two more to earn his sixth save of the season, which is tied for the lead in the GNAC.
 
Ryan Dorney Named GNAC Pitcher of the Week - Dorney got the start in game four against Montana State Billings, who had put double-digits runs in two of the previous three games.  Dorney quickly made work of the Yellowjackets, punching out six, while only allowing two hits and zero runs in five innings of work. Dorney was credited with his second win of the season.
 
Micah McNicoll Named GNAC Hitter of the Week - McNicoll began the weekend with a hit and a walk in the opening game of the five game series with College of Idaho. In the second game, he reached base on a walk and later scored in the inning. After sitting out the third game, he returned to the lineup with force. The junior went 2-for-4, both hits doubles, with two runs scored to help the Saints to a 3-2 victory. In the series finale, McNicoll put it all together, going 4-for-5, capped-off by his two-run home run in the second inning. He finished the game with four RBIs and two more runs scored.
 
Tanner Inouye Named GNAC Pitcher of the Week Twice - Tanner Inouye started the 2019 season off with a bang, throwing 5.2 innings, picking up the win, and also his first GNAC Pitcher of the Week award this season.

The Saints went on to win the game 5-2 to complete the doubleheader sweep of Central Washington.
