Saints Sweep Crown

The Saint Scholastica Saints Baseball Team opened play in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference by sweeping the Crown College Purple Storm in three games on Saturday. The Saints (16-1, 3-0) and the Purple Storm were forced to play an uncommon triple-header on Saturday as a result of a less than ideal weather forcast for Sunday.
