Nakagawa's Walk-Off Sends Saints To Series Win Over NNU

LACEY, Wash. – Trailing by fourth, heading to the final inning of the series, the Saints mounted a comeback to stun the Nighthawks and take the series over Northwest Nazarene.
 
Northwest Nazarene jumped on the Saints early in the second, scoring three of their runs in the second, and added another in the sixth.
 
Saint Martin's began the seventh inning with a double from Cody Chavis and put runners on the corners following an NNU error. Chayson Dulatre walked to load the bases, putting Griffin Williams at the plate. With nowhere to go, Griffin Williams was drilled to force in the first run of the game.
 
After a strikeout for the first out, Hunter Kosmider drove in the second run with a sac fly, putting the Saints down to their final out. Ryne Oshiro delivered with a single through the right side, scoring pinch-runner Alohi Arrechi. Aaron Renaud followed suit with his RBI single to left, scoring Williams, tying the game at 4-4, and putting the winning run in scoring position.
 
Bryant Nakagawa, who came in as a pinch-hitter earlier in the game, stepped to the plate. The lefty catcher drove the ball to left center, deep enough to bring Oshiro home, and send the bench into a frenzy, mobbing Nakagawa out at second base as the Saints walked off Northwest Nazarene 5-4.
 
Cole Hatton got the start for the Saints, going five innings, allowing three runs with four strikeouts. Ryan Driscoll pitched the sixth inning, and Aaron Nease, who earned the win, pitched a clean seventh.
 
The Nighthawks took the first game of the doubleheader 5-2, scoring all their runs in the first three innings. Austin Schaler, who tied the school record for most triples, drove in the Saints' first run on a triple in the second inning. Drew Forgione's double in the fourth accounted for the second RBI of the game.
 
Troy McCormick went 2.2 innings, allowing five runs before Kameron Richards came to close the out the game with 6.1 shutout relief.
 
Saint Martin's hits the road for their final road trip of season, heading to Montana State Billings on Friday, April 22 for a four-game series.
