Box Score 1 | Box Score 2
Macalester received superb pitching in an MIAC doubleheader with St. Mary's Monday night at St. Paul's Midway Stadium, and played to a split after dropping a 10-inning 2-1 heart-breaker in game one.  The Scots shook that off to beat the Cardinals 7-1 in the nightcap.  Nathan Kelleher-Crew (Jr., Cool, Calif. / Golden Sierra) was superb in the opener in 9 1/3 innings pitching, and Chase Kahn (Jr., Cooper City, Fla. / / American Heritage Plantation) pitched Macalester to a decisive 7-1 triumph.

Game one was moving along quickly as both teams were kept off the board until the Scots struck first in the sixth inning with a run on a Ross Bronfenbrenner (Jr., San Anselmo, Calif. / Marin Academy) walk, Nick Sia (Fy., Gambrills, Md. / South River) double and RBI  squeeze bunt by Jimmy Belfont (Sr., Olney, Md. / Our Lady of Good Counsel).  Kelleher-Crew kept dominating until a sudden game-tying home run to left in the bottom of the seventh sent the game into extra frames.

The only score of the eighth, ninth and 10th innings  came when St. Mary's got a walk-off double in the 10th.  In defeat, Kelleher-Crew  had five strikeouts against just one walk and allowed only five hits through his first nine innings.

Mac made things less tense in the nightcap by plating four runs in the opening inning and giving Kahn a nice margin to work with.  Kahn surrendered just two hits until the Cards made things a little interesting.  SMU finished with five hits and two walks against six strikeouts.  Five Scots produced a pair of hits each: Bronfenbrenner, David Melms (Sr., Wauwatosa, Wis. / Wisconsin Lutheran), Tom Forster (So., Stillwater, Minn.), Colin Carpenter (Jr., Harvard, Ill.) and Phillip Stuhr (Fy., Onalaska, Wis.).

Macalester has two doubleheaders left on the season: Tuesday (May 7) at Gustavus Adolphus and Wednesday (May 8) at St. Olaf.
