Scot Notes
Macalester's games vs. Hamline were the Scots' first in seven days. … Ted Kimble improved to 4-2 by pitching the Scots to the 3-2 win in the opener. Kimble scattered seven hits and struck out seven in 6.1 winnings. … Adam Wedwick picked up the save, stranding the game-tying run on third base. Wedwick also had a strong day at the plate, belting a home run, double and single. … Cody Ching also homered in Macalester's Game 1 victory. … James Murrey was a tough-luck losing in Game 2 vs. the Pipers, striking out nine to push his team-leading strikeout total to 40. …  Macalester has now played in six games decided by one run — including four straight. The Scots are 3-5 in those games. … Kimble and Murrey have pitched all but 1.2 innings of Macalester's six conference games. … Wedwick boasts a gaudy .889 slugging percentage through six conference games. … The Scots have 15 triples in 23 games, including four by Wedwick, who had a school-record seven last year.



Last Action
The Cardinals put an end to an eight-game losing streak with a 17-4 win over Carleton in Game 1 Monday. SMU rallied from an 8-0 deficit in the second game, but came out on the short end of an 11-10 decision. . … Macalester, meanwhile, split a pair of one-run games in its conference twinbill vs. Hamline Monday, winning 3-2 in Game 1 and losing Game 2, 1-0.

Last Meeting
The Cardinals were near-perfect in Game 1 of MIAC doubleheader against Macalester a year ago, getting a complete-game three-hitter from David Reiter and a 3-for-3 performance from Dan Cosgrove en route to a 2-0 victory. … The Cardinals were anything but perfect in the nightcap, however, as SMU managed just one hit through the first four innings, committed three errors, and let the Scots erupt for nine runs on 13 hits in earning the conference split with a 9-4 Game 2 win.

Cardinal Notes

Nick
Winecke
4-for-5, 6 runs
5 RBIs vs.
Carleton
The Cardinals put an end to their season-high eight-game losing streak with their Game 1 win over Carleton on Monday. … SMU's 17 runs vs. the Knights — not to mention their 20 hits — were both season highs. … The Cardinals' 17 runs were also the most since SMU plated 21 in a 21-2 win over Hillsdale Baptist on March 9, 2000. … After being held off the base paths for just the second time in SMU's first 19 games, Nick Winecke (St. Paul, Minn.) reached base in six of seven plate appearances vs. Carleton — going 3-for-3 with four runs scored and three RBIs in Game 1, then adding a 1-for-2 effort, with two walks, two runs scored and two RBIs in Game 2. … Winecke now has a team-leading seven multiple-hit games, while Brady Knudsen (Racine, Wis.), who went 4-for-5 in Game 1, recorded the Cardinals' first four-hit game of the season. … SMU's 4 through 7 hitters went 13-for-17 with eight RBIs and 10 runs scored in Game 1 vs. Carleton. … Carleton's 11 runs scored in Game 2 marked the sixth this season SMU has allowed 10 or more runs in a game. … Carleton scored at least one run in nine straight innings — the last three of Game 1 and every inning in Game 2, while the Cardinals scored runs in just five innings — four in the first and fourth, and nine in the third in Game 1, and four in the fourth and six in the fifth in Game 2. … SMU's nine-run third inning was a season high. … The Cardinals won for the first time when either team scores in the first inning (1-11) in Game 1 Monday. … The second and seventh innings continue to be the Cardinals' Achilles heel — SMU has been outscored 25-3 in the second inning and 17-5 in the seventh.
