MOORHEAD, Minn. (4/27/10)-- So many story lines, so little space. The Cobbers used a dramatic walkoff home run in the bottom of the seventh inning in the second game against Gustavus on Tuesday in Moorhead to complete a 11-4, 3-2 sweep over the Gusties.

The doubleheader featured so many memorable moments and dramatic outcomes that it would be hard to select just one or two to highlights. The biggest story from Tuesday's action is that Concordia breaks their four-series split streak and posts a pair of wins over a conference foe for the first time since Apr. 10. The two wins also keep the Cobbers in a tie atop the MIAC standings. CC is now deadlocked with St. Thomas at 10-4 and has had the outright lead, or shared the lead, in the league standings from the very first day of the conference season.

Just underneath the main story line of the sweep lies several unbelievable subplots that made the day a perfect outing for Cobber baseball. In no particular order, Concordia posted a list of highlights that was deep enough for the whole season. Included in the package was:

- Cobber senior Lucas Genereux hitting the game-winning home run in the bottom of the seventh inning in game 2. He deposited the very first pitch of the inning over the left field fence for his first collegiate home run. He had been to the plate 101 times as a member of the maroon and gold and only had seven extra-base hits - all were doubles - before cranking out the hit of a lifetime.

- Concordia received two complete-game pitching performances and both winning pitchers hail from Pelican Rapids. It is believed to be the first time in the history of the MIAC that two pitchers from the same high school earned complete-game wins in the same doubleheader.

- Cobber senior Nick Lewis had a single hit in both games and upped his hitting streak to 20 games. That ties the Concordia record for most consecutive games with at least one hit. Last year's All-American, and MIAC MVP, Kyle Johnson had a 20-game streak in 2008.

- CC senior shortstop Jake Krause made the defensive play of the year. It was a play that would be worthy of one of the finalists on the ESPN Web Gems for the entire MLB season. In the sixth inning of the second game, Drew Block hit a fly ball that was headed for foul territory about 90 feet behind the third-base bag. As soon as the ball was hit, Krause turned and took off in a dead sprint. The ball was going to fall behind CC third baseman Nate Haase and drop before left fielder Jordan Doschadis could make a play. Krause never stopped sprinting and, at the last second, laid out in a full horizontal dive and caught the ball as it came down over his shoulder. Cue CBS golf announcer Verne Lundquist and his call of Tiger Woods' chip-in on the 16th hole of the 2005 Master's: "OH, WOW!! IN YOUR LIFE, have you seen anything like that?"

- Cobber freshman Jordan Doschadis went 3-for-4 in the first game and hit his first collegiate home run. He then went 1-for-3 in the night cap to finish the day 4-for-7. Since getting the starting nod in left field for the Cobbers on Apr. 15, Doschadis has gone 17-for-28 (.607), has hit safely in seven of the eight games and has five multi-hit games. During that stretch he also has an on-base percentage of .645 and a slugging percentage of .857. He started the day by hammering three straight hits and was drawing comparisons to another unknown who got a late-season call-up - Roy Hobbs.

Those are just the top five highlights from a day that was played under perfect playing conditions. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and hardly any wind as the temperature soared into the 60's. It was a day that would have inspired Chicago Cubs legend Ernie Banks to cry out "Let's play two!"

Concordia continued their hot hitting ways in the very first inning of the opener. The Cobbers, who entered the day ranked second in the MIAC in hitting with a .351 average in league games, cranked out six hits in the first fame and scored four times.

That would be all the runs that starting pitcher Adam Johnson would need. Johnson was able to overpower the Gustavus hitters in the first part of the game and then spotted his breaking pitches towards the end to earn his fourth victory of the season. In his last three starts, Johnson is 3-0, has pitched 19.2 innings, has only walked two batters and has not allowed a home run.

The Cobbers outhit the Gusties 16-10 in the first game and all nine hitters in the batting order had at least one hit. Krause, Johnson and Erik Stoa had two hits each and Doschadis and Haase knocked out three base raps each. Johnson was 2-for-4 and had three RBI to help out his pitching performance. He also hammered out his team-leading fourth home run of the year in the sixth inning. Stoa was also 2-for-4 and drove in three runs.

The second game started out choppy but turned into a pitcher's dual for the final four innings of play. Gustavus got to Cobber starter Andrew Skow-Anderson early by scoring two runs in the first inning. Skow-Anderson allowed five of the first seven hitters in the game to reach base and he compounded his struggles by committing a throwing error on a pickoff play to first base.

He was one batter away from being taken out of the game when he got the final out of the inning on a come-backer to the mound. From that point forward, Skow-Anderson was practically untouchable. He pulled off one of the gutsiest pitching performances in the past few years by regaining his composure and retiring seven straight hitters. He gave up a leadoff single in the fourth inning but then erased that runner on a double play. Skow-Anderson then finished off the game by setting down nine of the final 11 batters. The only two GAC hitters to reach base got on because of Cobber fielding errors. The final eight batters did not get the ball out of the infield.

Gustavus (12-18/4-10 MIAC) starting pitcher Al Woitas was also on top of his game and matched Skow-Anderson pitch-for-pitch in the middle innings. The Cobbers scored once in the bottom of the first on a sacrifice fly and then tied the game on another sac fly in the third inning. In the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, Woitas retired eight straight batters and only allowed one single.

Unfortunately Genereux would spoil Woitas' stellar pitching performance on the very first pitch of the seventh inning. Genereux was able to turn on a fastball that was left up in the zone and punched it over the left field fence for the game-winning homer.

CC outhit the Gusties 7-4 in the second game and only Genereux had more than one hit. He finished the game 2-for-3. Lewis extended his hitting streak to 20 games with a single to left field in the first inning and then picked up the RBI in the third.

Concordia will now travel to St. Paul for a first-place showdown with defending national champion St. Thomas on Saturday. The Cobbers will play at the Tommies on May 1 at 1 p.m. UST is also 10-4 in the MIAC. They are also 23-5 in overall games.
