Johnnies Close MIAC Schedule With Split


Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Saint John's baseball ended its regular-season schedule with a doubleheader split at Augsburg on Sunday, May 7, at Parade Stadium in Minneapolis.

Four Johnnie pitchers combined to allow three hits as SJU (23-14, 14-6 MIAC) cruised to a 7-0 win in game one, but the visitors committed three errors and left 11 men on base in an 11-5 loss in the nightcap. Five of the 11 runs allowed were unearned.

Senior Jack Haring (Ham Lake, Minn./Blaine) broke the Johnnies' season record for pitching appearances with this 20th in the bottom of the fourth inning of game two.

Game 1
Following a scoreless first inning, SJU posted four runs on four hits in the top of the second. Junior center fielder Jordan Amundson (Eden Prairie, Minn.) started the inning with a single and scored on an RBI triple from sophomore shortstop Jackson Peter (Elrosa, Minn./Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa), his first of the season. After junior left fielder Jack Schleper (Shakopee, Minn.) walked on four pitches, junior designated hitter Owen Best (Aurora, Colo./Regis Jesuit) brought in Peter with a sacrifice fly. Senior catcher Matt Herold (North Oaks, Minn./Mounds View) followed with a double and junior right fielder Rodney Erickson (St. Paul, Minn./Woodbury) plated Schleper with an RBI single. Senior second baseman Owen Dauk (Apple Valley, Minn./Eastview) ended the scoring with a sac fly, the team's 20th of the season.

SJU tallied three more runs in the fifth inning to gain a 7-0 lead. Junior third baseman Joe Becker (New Prague, Minn.) walked and senior first baseman Max Nyrop (Alameda, Calif.) singled to start the inning. Both runners moved up a base on a sac bunt from Amundson before Peter scored them both with a two-run single. Peter moved to third on a single from Schleper and scored on a wild pitch.

Junior Griffin Larson (Edina, Minn.) earned the win in relief (1-1 record) after he pitched two hitless innings with two strikeouts. Senior Wyatt Rudolf (Carver, Minn./Chanhassen) made the start and allowed two hits with three strikeouts in three innings for the no-decision. Senior Cade Marsolek (Savage, Minn./Burnsville) and sophomore Tien Foudray (Excelsior, Minn./Holy Family Catholic) tallied a strikeout in the sixth and seventh innings, respectively.

Erickson, Herold, Nyrop and Peter all had two hits each, while Peter drove in three runs.

Game 2
Peter matched his second-inning triple from game one and scored on Herold's two-out, RBI single. The Auggies tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the second and gained their lead of the day with an RBI triple in the third.

The Auggies (9-23, 6-13 MIAC) made it 4-1 with a pair of unearned runs during Haring's record-breaking appearance in the fourth inning and added another in the fifth.

Nyrop doubled off the left-field fence to start the sixth and scored on a sac fly from Schleper to make it 5-2, but the Auggies added three more unearned runs with two outs in the bottom half.

Senior catcher Zach Selchow (Apple Valley, Minn./Eastview) doubled to start the seventh and scored on a two-out double from Becker. The double extended Becker's on-base streak to 41 games going back to last season (last four games of 2022, all 37 games in 2023). 

The home team scored three runs on four hits off junior Jordon Huwe (Lakeville, Minn./North) in the bottom of the seventh and SJU answered with two, a sac fly from Erickson and a two-out single from Dauk (11-5), to end the game's scoring in the top of the eighth.

Dauk, Nyrop and Peter added tallied hits in game two. Nyrop and Peter both went 4-for-8 at the plate and combined for five runs scored on the day.

Sophomore southpaw Will Fazio (Minneapolis, Minn./Blake) started game two and took the loss after he allowed the Auggies' first two runs on three hits in three innings. He struck out four and walked one.
Junior Quinn Krueger (Woodbury, Minn.) surrendered four runs (one earned) in two innings and freshman Evan Soeffker (Buffalo, Minn.) pitched a scoreless eighth.

SJU hosts the four-team, double-elimination MIAC Tournament for the fourth time (2016, 2017, 2021) this Thursday-Saturday, May 11-13, in Collegeville. The Johnnies will play a to-be-determined opponent at 7 p.m. Thursday.
