The Blazers scored two runs on the day, but that was all they needed as visiting St. Benedict gained a pair of 1-0 shutouts over Macalester Sunday afternoon.

The Scots drop to 12-8 overall and 1-3 in the MIAC, while CSB moves to 12-4 overall, 4-0 in MIAC play.

While the Macalester pitchers were throwing well throughout the doubleheader, center fielder Cleo Nagy (So., Eugene, Ore. / Henry D. Sheldon) also had a big day, going 5-for-6 to bring her batting average up to a team-leading .469.

Amanda Knopf (Sr., Boulder, Colo.) chalked up a career-best 12 strikeout and surrendered just five hits and an unearned run in the opener.  She lowers her ERA to 1.35.  In the 1-0 defeat in game two, starter Miranda Stokes (Fy., Perry, Utah / Box Elder) pitched the first three innings and Brittany Ehmann (Fy., Island Lake, Ill. / Wauconda) threw four scoreless relief innings.  Macalester's three pitchers gave up just 10 hits in the two games.

The Scots look to bounce back when they play a pair of MIAC games Tuesday (April 3) at St. Catherine.
