Baseball Team Wins 1st NCAA Game

The Hamline Baseball team won their first game of the NCAA Midwest Regional today against St. Scholastica 3-2 in 13 innings. Cass Kreitlow went 12 tough innings for the Pipers. Rannon Arch shut down the Saints in the 13th to close out the game. They will play tomorrow against the home team UW-Whitewater at 4pm. You can follow the game HERE.

Believe it or not, this was the second 12 inning outing of the year for a Hamline starter. Casey Benford went 12 in a 1-0 victory over UW-Stout about two weeks ago.

I forgot to mention this before but this was the baseball teams first ever MIAC Championship. A huge accomplishment for Coach Jason Verdugo. When he first got here, guys came to practice in jeans and the team had worse equipment than the local Little League teams. This is great for our athletic department, hopefully it fuels some friendly competition amongst us coaches and players.
