Saints Sweep Crusaders in Lacey

| By:
Sam Munger and Taylor Bakos pitched two-hit shutouts as Saint Martin's swept Northwest Nazarene 11-0 and 8-0 Wednesday in a GNAC doubleheader at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey.

The two wins moved the regionally 10th ranked Saints (27-15, 17-10) to within one-half game of second-place Simon Fraser (18-10) in the conference race. SMU trails first-place Montana State Billings (23-5) by 5 1/2 games.

In the first game, Munger (13-6) walked one and fanned five. Bakos (9-4) issued two walks and also struck out five.

Munger also had a big day with the stick driving in six runs, three in each game. In her win, she had a sacrifice fly in the first and a two-run single in the second.

In Bakos' victory she contributed a two-run single in a five-run second, then ended the game via the eight-run rule with a run-scoring double in the fifth.

The Saints had 11 hits in the opener, two each by Taviah Jenkins, Joslyn Eugenio and Kelsie McGladrey. McGladrey had two doubles to produce three runs. Megan Antonovich had three hits and Munger had two to lead the Saints to their second-game win.

Four different players had one hit on the day for Northwest Nazarene (6-31, 5-23).
