Saints Prepare For Tommies
The Saint Scholastica Saints baseball team is coming off of an impressive two-game sweep of third ranked Wartburg College last week and has been working even harder for another tough outing against another nationally ranked opponent and fierce rival, the St. Thomas Tommies. The Tommies are ranked #27 nationally and will open their season on Tuesday against the Saints.
St. Thomas is returning 17 varisty players from last season's team that won both the MIAC regular season and post season titles. The Tommies also advanced to the Midwest Regional of the NCAA Division III Tournament where they were knocked out by eventual National Champion the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
Last season, the Saints and Tommies face each other three times with the Tommies taking two out of three. They met in a doubleheader in the Metrodome on March 14, 2005 with the Saints taking the first game 2-1 in 9 innings and the Tommies taking the night-cap by the score of 7-5. The two teams met for the final time on April 24, 2005 at St. Thomas's home field with the Tommies taking it to the Saints by the score of 10-4.
Tuesday's games will mark the first of four that the two teams will play during the regular season of 2006. The Saints and Tommies will meet again on May 7th in Wade Stadium for another doubleheader that will mark the end of the Saints 2006 regular season campaign.
The battle begins on Tuesday, March 7th at 5:00 PM in the Metrodome. Saints fans should make it down early to cheer on their 17th ranked St. Scholastica Saints in, already, one of their biggest series's of the season!
