Macalester vs. Wisconsin-Superior box scores: Game 1 | Game 2

Starting pitchers Louis Mondale (Jr., St. Louis Park, Minn. / Benilde-St. Margaret) and Nick Agrawal (Fy. Fort Mill, S.C. / Charlotte Christian School) led Macalester to a 5-1 and 1-0 non-conference doubleheader sweep over Wisconsin-Superior Saturday afternoon at Dunning Field in St. Paul. The Scots didn't walk a batter all day and lowered their collective ERA to 3.52 as the team improves to 10-8 on the year. Mac has won five of its last six games.

Agrawal tossed a three-hit shutout in the nightcap and faced just 24 batters in seven innings to pick up his first collegiate win in dominating fashion.

Both seven-inning affairs took just 90 minutes to complete. Agrawal faced Superior's Ethan Branum in a pitcher's gem in game two, with the lone run coming in the bottom of the sixth when Will Chen (Sr., Edina, Minn.) singled and sprinted home on a Colin Carpenter (Fy., Harvard, Ill.) triple down the right field line.

Chen crossed the plate three times on the day and went 2-for-3 (with two walks and a hit-by-pitch) to increase his batting average to .395.

Macalester didn't need to wait until the end in the first game with the Yellow Jackets, scoring three runs in the first and two in the third. Mitch Glasser (Jr., Chicago, Ill. / The Latin School) went 3-for-4 from the leadoff spot.

Mondale worked the first 4 1/3 innings on the mound and reliever Chase Kahn (Fy., Cooper City, Fla. / American Heritage Plantation) allowed no base runners in 2 2/3 frames in relief, striking out four of the eight batters he faced.

The four-game weekend set with the Yellow Jackets continues tomorrow at noon with two more games, this time at Mac's Nicholson Field at 12 noon.   Macalester (in second-place with a 3-1 league record) returns to MIAC play Tuesday (April 12) at home against first-place St. Olaf (5-1) at 2:30 p.m.
