Northwest Nazarene 5, Saint Martin’s 3 – More from NNUSports.com
In game one, Northwest Nazarene’s first four hitters went 11-for-17 with seven RBI and eight runs scored as the Crusaders opened up an 11-0 lead on the Saint Martin’s and cruised to the 11-4 victory. Chandler Tracy led the way for the Saints going 3-for-4.
In game two, the Saints had the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning (the last inning of the game in game two of a doubleheader) but Crusaders’ reliever Sean McDonald struck out Tracy looking to get the save. The Saints opened the scoring with a run in the second inning but River Ridge alum Jon Matos erased the lead with a three run homer in the third. The Saints answered back with two runs in the fourth but the Crusaders scored two of their own in the fourth and held on for the 5-3 win.
The sweep flip flops the Saints and Crusaders in the GNAC standings. Coming into the game, Saint Martin’s was in second but the losses drop them to 10-14 and tied for third. Meanwhile, Northwest Nazarene jumps to second place at 12-14.

Saint Martin’s 5, Montana State Billings 3 – More from SMUSaints.com
Saint Martin’s 11, Montana State Billings 8 – 9 innings
Saint Martin’s came up huge with their sweep of GNAC leader Montana State Billings in Billings on Thursday afternoon. The Saints had to win to keep their GNAC title hopes alive and after winning game one 5-3, the Saints found themselves down 7-4 in the fourth inning of game two. Morgan Klemm hit a three run homerun to tie the game and then took an 8-7 lead in the top of the seventh but couldn’t hold the lead in the bottom of the seventh and the Yellowjackets tied the game at 8-8. The Saints broke through with three runs in the top of the seventh and held on for the win.
The sweep brings the Saints within two games of the Yellowjackets with just two conference games left to play for both teams. To get the GNAC’s NCAA bid, the Saints have to sweep Northwest Nazarene and hope that Simon Fraser can sweep in Billings on Saturday.

Today (4/25): Narrow League title on the line
The 4A Narrows League championship is on the line today when Olympia hosts Gig Harbor at Crandall Field At 4:00 PM. The Tides’ 4-1 win over the Bears dropped Oly to 12-1 in conference, just a half game ahead of 11-1 Gig Harbor. A win today in their final regular season game would give the Bears the title outright. Of course, this all depends on weather, and it isn’t looking too promising right now.

Weyand, a German exchange student, has scored 15 goals in 12 games this season.
Across town, North Thurston travels to Tumwater Stadium to face cellar dwelling Black Hills. The Wolves are looking to avenge their worst loss of the season, a 6-0 win by the Rams on March 27th. North Thurston is 5-4 in conference while Black Hills is 1-9. First kick is scheduled for 7:00 PM.

Friday scoreboard: Slam spoils Reign’s casino opener
International Basketball League
Bellingham Slam 133, Olympia Reign 104
Saint Martin’s alum Blake Poole scored 15 points and brought down 13 rebounds and the Saints’ Jeremy Green added 15 points to help the Bellingham Slam to a 133-104 spoiling of the Olympia Reign’s debut at the Skookum Creek Events Center at the Little Creek Casino. Three former Evergreen Geoducks – Mike Ward, Marcus Wright and Nick Moore – led the way for the Reign scoring 20, 13 and 12 points respectively.
The two teams battled back and forth for the first seven minutes of the game and Ward’s field goal at the 5:06 mark gave the Reign a 15-12 lead. The Slam then went on a 17-2 run to close out the first quarter and never allowed the Reign to get within eight points again.
Up 63-51 at halftime, the Slam reeled off the first seven points of the second half to take a 19 point lead. The Reign had one breath of life left cutting a 22 point lead to just 12 in the third quarter but the Slam outscored the Reign 46-29 over the last 13 minutes of the game to give themselves the easy victory.

Saint Martin’s 13, Central Washington 0 – More from SMUSaints.com
On March 4th, the Saint Martin’s softball team lost a game to Central Washington 7-3. However, the Saints protested a home run in the bottom of the first inning that was originally called foul and then changed to fair after the umpires discussed the call at the request of the Wildcats’ coaches. The protest was upheld, the loss was struck from the Saints’ record and today the game resumed from just before the home run happened over a month ago.
And this time, Sam Munger got the out and proceeded to pitch a two hit, five inning mercy rule shutout and the Saints won easily, 13-0. Saint Martin’s had 17 hits in the game including six combined hits for Munger and Morgan Klemm that accounted for five of the Saints’ runs. Lacey McGladrey went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI.
The Saints have won three straight games to move to 28-15-1 overall and 18-10 in the GNAC.
