Cobbers vs. Oles Series Recap

Cobbers Tame Tobias To Pick Up Critical Split at St. Olaf. 
NORTHFIELD-- Concordia pulled off a huge win that could jump-start their final drive for the MIAC playoffs in the second game of their series at St. Olaf. 

The Cobbers lost the first game 3-1 and then came back to beat the Oles 4-1 in the nightcap, and in the process kept their playoff chances intact with six games left to play in the conference schedule.

Concordia is now 8-6 in league play and 13-16 overall, while second-place St. Olaf moves to 11-5 in the MIAC and 18-12 overall. 

After the loss in the opener, the Cobbers' playoff hopes were starting to dwindle. They needed to gain a split to keep pace with the rest of the pack that is currently fighting for the third and fourth spots in the MIAC playoffs. To make matters worse, they were about to face one of their pitching nemeses in Ole lefthander Eric Tobias. Last year Tobias threw one of the best games in conference play when he shutout the Cobbers in the MIAC playoffs. In that game, Tobias struck out 18 and only allowed five hits in nine innings of work.

Unfortunately for Tobias, Concordia freshman Matt Youngquist and sophomore Ryan Emter had never seen the crafty southpaw before and were able to get three clutch hits in helping the Cobbers beat Tobias for the first time in his career. 

Youngquist went 2-for-4, scored a run and drove in a run, as he and Emter combined for the only three hits for the Cobbers. Emter finished the game 1-for-3. 

The biggest story for Concordia was the pitching of Blake Trenbeath. Trenbeath gave the Cobbers a quality start. He pitched the first 5.1 innings and picked up his second win in seven days. In his past two outings, he has given up only two earned runs in 12.1 innings of work. 

St. Olaf won the first game in the fourth inning when they scored all three runs off of starting pitcher Bryan Romsa. Romsa pitched a complete game for Concordia, his fourth consecutive complete-game that he has pitched and fifth overall this season. 

Romsa's lone mistake in the game came against St. Olaf senior Tony DeLahunt. After an infield error to start the bottom of fourth inning, DeLahunt deposited a Romsa offering over the centerfield fence giving the Oles a 2-1 lead. St. Olaf tacked on one more run in the inning to push the margin to 3-1.

The Cobber offense was done in by a combination of a seven-day layoff and the quality pitching of Ole starter Will Heupenbecker. Heupenbecker pitched a complete-game and only allowed four hits. 

Concordia's lone run came in the second inning when Nick Esala tripled and then scored on a wild pitch.

The Cobbers struck early in game two. After Youngquist doubled and then reached third on a passed ball, Chris Klabo lifted a sacrifice fly to right field that plated Youngquist.

The Oles countered with a run in the bottom of the second before Concordia was able to open up a two-run lead in the top of the sixth inning. The Cobbers added one more run in the seventh as they chased Tobias with one out to go in the top of the frame. 

Josh Dietz came on in relief of Trenbeath and pitched the final 1.2 innings to pick up his third save of the season. Dietz entered the game with a runner on second and one out in the sixth inning. He proceeded to strike out the next two batters and then retire the Oles in order in the seventh.

Concordia will take a break from league action when they play NCAA Division I foe North Dakota State on Monday, May 2 at 6:00pm at Newman Outdoor Stadium in Fargo, N.D.

The Cobbers will then return to the thick of the MIAC playoff race when they play at St. Mary's on Wednesday, May 4 at 1:00pm.
