Cardinal In The Spotlight

Dan Cosgrove

Year: Senior

Pos.: Pitcher / 1st Base

Hometown: So. St. Paul, MN

Major: Criminal Justice

From Coach Whaley: "Dan has been having an unbelievable senior season. He has been a our No. 1 offensive threat, as was evident by his 5-for-5 performance in our doubleheader against St. Thomas last Saturday. He also gives us some much-needed depth in our pitching staff, and his knuckleball has given more than a few batters fits.”



Game Notes
The Cardinals scored six runs in the third inning and three more in the fourth en route to a 10-8 Game 1 win over Macalester in the teams’ MIAC doubleheader a year ago. The Scots game back to win Game 2, scoring in every inning but the fourth and seventh en route to a 13-5 triumph. … The Cardinals, fresh off a streak-snapping nonconference sweep over Luther last Thursday, could not keep pace with league-leading St. Thomas on Saturday, as UST handed SMU 7-1 and 5-4 setbacks. … Macalester, meanwhile, erupted for 11 runs for the second straight game Monday, as the Scots routed Northwestern 11-4.

John Simkins collected four hits in five at-bats vs. Northwestern Monday, while pitcher Jared Hillman scattered three hits — all in the first inning — in six innings to record his first win of the season. … Relief pitcher Jeremy Velasquez pitched the final three innings vs. Northwestern to earn his first career save. … The Scots have now won three straight. … Macalester’s 11-4 win vs. Northwestern marked the seventh time this season that the Scots have scored 10 or more runs.
