College baseball
Saint Martin’s vs. Central Washington (DH) – SMU Baseball Field – Noon
The scenario is pretty simple for Saint Martin’s in a senior day doubleheader starting at noon: just win. The Saints are tied with Northwest Nazarene for the third and final playoff spot in the GNAC and need to finish one game ahead of the Crusaders to secure a playoff birth since NNU took the season series 6-2. The Saints have won four straight games in their push for the postseason but face the second place Wildcats today while Northwest Nazarene continues their series against last place Montana State-Billings.

Down 3-0 in the bottom of the seventh inning in an elimination game at the GNAC Championships in Richland, Saint Martin’s hit three home runs including back-to-back home runs by freshmen Mary Dettling and Jackie Schmaeling to extend their season with a 4-3 win over Western Washington.
A pair of Saints errors allowed the Vikings took a 3-0 lead in the top of the sixth inning capped off by a two run homer by Jordan Walley. The Saints got Lacey McGladrey and Megan Miller on base in the the bottom half of the sixth but were unable to answer. Sam Munger then made quick work of Western in the top of the seventh.
With three outs between the Saints and elimination, Taviah Jenkins singled to open the inning and scored on Dani Wall’s two run blast to right center to cut the score to Vikings lead to 3-2.
After a Western pitching change, Christina Demar struck out for the first out of the inning. Dettling took Shayna Adelstein deep in the next at bat to tie the game, 3-3, and Schmaeling jumped on a 1-0 pitch and deposited it over the left center wall for the game winner.
The rally eliminated the #2 seed Western Washington and sent the Saints to another elimination game immediately afterward with #3 Central Wasington.

But the celebration would be short lived for the Saints as they were eliminated in quick fashion by the #3 seed Central Washington in a 9-1 five inning game. The Wildcats scored in each of the four innings that they batted including a four spot in the third and three more in the fourth that put the game out of reach and GNAC Pitcher of the Year Maria Gau allowed just five hits over five shutout innings.
The Saints finished their season at 27-22, their third straight 20+ win season and should be strong again next year with just one senior, Lacey McGladrey, on the roster.

Entering today’s doubleheader, Saint Martin’s, Northwest Nazarene and Montana State-Billings were all tied at 11-17 for the third and final GNAC playoff spot. The Saints took care of business on their end with a doubleheader sweep, 11-4 and 3-1, of Central Washington on Friday afternoon.
Carl Svanevik drove in three runs, Zach Raczok drove in a pair and Zack Larsen went 3-for-5 and scored three times to lead the Saints to the 11-4 game one victory. Saints starter Zach Carter pitched a complete game allowing four earned runs on nine hits.
Josh Moss allowed just one earned run on eight hits over seven innings and Chandler Tracey drove in one run in the first inning and Travis Shaw tripled in a pair of runs in the fourth to lead the Saints to a 4-1 win in game two.
The win ran the Saints record to 13-17 in the GNAC but are still tied for third after Northwest Nazarene swept Montana State-Billings. Both teams play doubleheaders against the same teams tomorrow. First pitch for the Saints is scheduled for noon at the SMU Baseball Field.

Jourdan Williams hit a walk off two run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to give Western Oregon a 3-1 win over Saint Martin’s in the first round of the GNAC Championships in Richland, Washington.
The Saints took a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning and Taviah Jenkins did all that she could to hold back the Wolves. The first batter of the inning, Raina Reece, lined a ball into the gap in right center but Jenkins cut it off and caught Reece trying to stretch the hit to a double. She then reached up and robbed Ashlie Garner of a home run to record the second out of the inning. But Danielle Hannan singled on the next at bat and Melanie Pfeiffer drove her in with a double to even the game at one all and send it to extra innings.
Sam Munger and Kellie Demianew battled in the circle but it was Demianew who got the big win giving up just one unearned run over eight innings. Munger went 7 1/3 innings and gave up three earned runs.
The Saints now face an elimination game on Friday at 4:30 PM against Western Washington.
