MOORHEAD-- Senior Gretta
Stritesky saved one of her best pitching performances of her career
for last as she helped Concordia beat St. Mary's 4-2 in the second
game of the final series of the 2005 season. The victory snapped a 10-game
losing streak that the Cobbers had endured at the hands of the Cardinals.
With the split, Concordia
moves to 9-13-0 in the MIAC, which places them in a tie for sixth in the
final regular season standings. The Cobbers finish the overall campaign
with an 11-22-0 mark. St. Mary's completes the year with a 19-3-0 recond
in league play and a 29-8-0 overall slate. The Cardinals finish second
in the conference and will play in the MIAC tournament which begins next
weekend.(More) |

6 at St. Ben's 1 |
ST. JOSEPH-- Concordia used
the strength of two home runs in the second game of their doubleheader
with St. Ben's to snap a nine-game losing streak to the Blazers and come
away with a series split.
St. Ben's took the first
game of the double dip 3-0 before the Cobbers' bats awoke in the nightcap
to come away with a 6-1 win. The loss in the first game of the series extends
a season-long trend for Concordia. The Cobbers are now 2-8 in the first
game of doubleheaders played against MIAC opponents.(More)

MOORHEAD-- Defending NCAA
Division III National Champion St. Thomas used the strength of four, multiple-run
innings to sweep Concordia 7-0 and 11-1. The second game was stopped after
the fifth inning due to the eight-run mercy rule.
The Cobbers gave up a three-run
and a four-run inning in the opener and then allowed the Tommies to score
five runs in the second inning and six in the fifth inning in the nightcap.
The good news for Concordia came in the form of their lone run in the fourth
inning of game two, which broke a streak of 32 consecutive innings that
the Cobbers had been shutout by the Tommies.(More) |

ST. PAUL-- Two multiple-run
innings against St. Kate's cost the Cobbers a chance to record their second
straight conference in as many days. Concordia allowed seven runs in the
third and fourth innings in the first game against the Wildcats and had
to settle for the split in a series played in St. Paul.
The Cobbers hammered St.
Kate's in the second game 9-0 in a game that was stopped after the fifth
inning due to the league's eight-run mercy rule. That came after Concordia
had let the Wildcats break open a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the third and
go on to win 8-1 in the opener of the series.(More)

Cobbers Put it All Together
In a Pair of Five-Inning Blowouts Over Macalester.
Game 1: Concordia
9 at Macalester 1 (5 inn) | Game 2: Concordia
9 at Macalester 1 (5 inn)
ST. PAUL-- Concordia used
multiple-run, fourth innings to capture a pair of 9-1 victories against
Macalester in a doubleheader played in St. Paul on Wednesday. Both games
were halted after the fifth inning due to the conference's eight-run mercy
rule.
The conference twinbill sweep
marks the first time this season that Concordia has swept a league opponent
and first since they did the same to the Scots last season. The pair of
eight-run, shortened wins also marks the first time since the 1997 season
that the Cobbers have swept an opponent in a pair of games shortened due
to the mercy rule.(More) |

Stritesky Pitches, Sparby
Homers to Help Cobbers to Split With Augsburg.
Game 1: Augsburg
6 at Concordia 3 | Game 2: Augsburg
1 at Concordia 4 | Action

MOORHEAD-- Once again unearned
runs and a late-game rally came back to haunt Concordia and prevent them
from sweeping a MIAC doubleheader.
The Cobbers watched as their
3-2 lead was erased in the top of the seventh inning in the first game
of their doubleheader with Augsburg in Moorhead. The Auggies ended up winning
the opener by scoring four unearned runs in the final frame to take the
game.
In the second game, Concordia
starting pitcher Gretta Stritesky
pitched a complete-game, two-hit masterpiece as the Cobbers snagged the
nightcap 4-1. Lindy Sparby
had her second home run in as many days for Concordia, helping the Cobbers
push a troublesome 2-1 lead in the last of the sixth inning to a comfortable
4-1 heading into the seventh inning.(More)

Two-Out Rallies Send
Cobbers to Fifth Staight Loss.
Game 1: Concordia
4 at St. Olaf 5 | Game 2: Concordia
2 at St. Olaf 3 (8 inn.)|
NORTHFIELD-- Concordia lost
two, one-run games at St. Olaf and watched their losing streak grow to
five games. The Cobbers dropped the first game 5-4 and then lost 3-2 in
extra innings in the nightcap. Seven of the eight runs scored by the Oles
in the series came with two outs in the inning.
The pair of losses severely
damages Concordia's playoff hopes as they fall to 3-7 in the MIAC and 5-16
overall. The Oles remain in the hunt for one of the four playoff spots,
improving to 4-4 in conference play and 11-11 overall. St. Olaf has now
won three straight games.(More) |

Cobbers Get Dewildered
by Dewitz in Doubleheader Loss Against Gustavus.
Game 1: Gustavus
6 at Concordia 1 (11 inn.) | Game 2: Gustavus
6 at Concordia 1 | Action
Pictures |
MOORHEAD-- Last weekend,
Concordia was the victim of a 15-strikeout performance. On Saturday, with
the wind whipping up to 30mph, the Cobbers were baffled for 11 innings
by Gustavus starting pitcher Joyce Dewitz and struck out 20 times.
Dewitz took advantage of the pitcher-friendly wind and only allowed two
hits in a game that took until the 11th inning to finally come up with
an outcome. The 11-inning marathon is the longest game for the Cobbers
since they lost an 11-9 decision to the Gusties in 11 innings on May 2,
1998.
In the end, the Gusties came
away with a 6-1 extra-inning victory in game one, and used that long distance
win to come away with a sweep - winning the second game by an identical
6-1 margin.(More)

Abrahamson Powers Cobbers
to Series Split With Hamline.
Game 1: Hamline
9 at Concordia 10 | Game 2: Hamline
8 at Concordia 5 | Action
Pictures |
MOORHEAD-- On a day when
the wind was blowing out to centerfield, Concordia and Hamline combined
for 32 runs and 48 hits as the two teams split their MIAC doubleheader
in Moorhead.
The Cobbers staged a dramatic,
come-from-behind 10-9 victory in the first game, and then the Pipers outscored
Concordia 8-5 in the second game.
Krys Abrahamson was
the unlikely power hero for the Cobbers. After struggling to score any
runs in the first four innings of the opener, Abrahamson's grand slam in
the fifth inning gave Concordia a 7-4 lead. For Abrahamson it was her second
collegiate home run and first of the season.(More) |

Cobbers Start Like Van
Winkle, Finish Like Montgomery in Split With Bethel.
Game 1: Concordia
3 at Bethel 4 | Game 2: Concordia
10 at Bethel 1 |
ARDEN HILLS-- For the second
MIAC series in-a-row, Concordia started like Rip Van Winkle after awakening
from a 20-year slumber, and finished the day like Tim Montgomery speeding
toward a world record in the 100 meter dash.
The Cobbers allowed four
runs in the first two inning of their doubleheader with Bethel on Monday,
and then proceeded to allow only one more run in the next 11 innings of
play. Offensively, the Cobbers were held to only three runs in the first
seven innings and then exploded to score 10 in the next five innings.
All this drama added up to
the second consecutive conference series split for the Cobbers. After dropping
the opener 4-3, Concordia hammered the Royals in the second game 10-1,
in a game that was called after the fifth inning because of the eight-run
mercy rule.(More)

Seven-Run, Two Out Rally
Helps Cobbers Salvage Split With Carleton.
Game 1: Carleton
5 at Concordia 3 | Game 2: Carleton
4 at Concordia 9 | Action
Pictures |
MOORHEAD-- Concordia used
a seven-run, two out rally in the bottom of the fourth inning in the second
game of their doubleheader with Carleton to pull away with a 9-4 victory
and salvage a sweep their opening twinbill of the MIAC season.
The victory snapped a seven-game
losing streak for the Cobbers - a streak that included an opening game
5-3 loss at the hands of the Knights. Concordia is now 3-10 on the year,
while Carleton moves to 3-8. Both teams start the conference with a 1-1
record.
The first game started as
an old fashioned game of cat and mouse. For the first five innings every
time that Carleton would score a run, the Cobbers would counter in the
bottom half, and every time Concordia pitcher Lindy Sparby would
shut down the Knights batters in the top half, the Caitlyn Cornell
would slam the door closed in the home half of the inning.(More) |
