The Cardinals' losses to St. Thomas Saturday extended a pair of losing streaks. SMU has now lost a season-high eight straight, and has dropped the last 13 straight vs. the Tommies. The Cardinals' last win vs. UST came in 2001, when Scott Morrison belted the second of his two home runs with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning to lift SMU to a 6-5 victory. … St. Olaf's 21 runs and 24 hits in Game 1 last Monday were the most allowed by the Cardinals this season. The Oles' 21 runs were also the most allowed since Winona State plated 23 vs. SMU in a 23-3 victory on March 31, 2004. … UST's 12 and 11 runs scored marked the fourth and fifth times this season SMU has allowed or more runs in a game. … The Cardinals' nine runs scored in Game 1 vs. UST were a team high. … SMU held the lead going into the bottom of the seventh inning in both losses at Augsburg Friday — the Auggies scored once in the seventh and once in the eighth to win Game 1, then scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to win the rematch. … After going 2-for-3 with three runs scored in Game 1 vs. St. Thomas, Nick Winecke (St. Paul, Minn.) was held off the base paths in Game 2 (going 0-for-3), marking just the second time in SMU's 19 games that the SMU senior has failed to reach base. … The Cardinals gave up six second-inning runs vs. St. Olaf and have now been outscored 22-3 in the second inning. SMU has also been outscored 22-5 in the fifth inning and 15-5 in the seventh. … SMU surrendered nine fifth-inning runs vs. UST — marking the second-most runs allowed in an inning by the Cardinals this season (Wartburg plated 10 in its season-opening 16-1 win over SMU). … Augsburg held SMU to a season-low two hits in the Auggies 3-2, Game 2 win Friday. … The Cardinals are winless (0-11) when either team scores in the first inning
