The Saints rallied back from a 3-0 and a 5-2 deficit to win 10-6 against Minnesota Morris in the final game of the crossover.
 
Morris jumped ahead 3-0 in the top of the second.  The Saints didn't respond until Rendi Johnson (Bonney Lake, Wash./Bonney Lake HS) hit a two-run home run that hit the ceiling, but was ruled a round-tripper by the umpires in the bottom of the third.
 
The Cougars responded with two more runs in the top of the fourth to make it 5-2. St. Scholastica kept the bats going in the bottom of the frame as Chrisi Mizera (Frankfort, Ill./Lincoln-Way East HS) hit her first collegiate home run, a two-run shot to make it 5-4. A Morris error led to two more CSS runs to give the Saints their first lead of the game at 6-5.
 
Morris tied the game back up in the top of the sixth inning on a wild pitch. But that didn't last long as the Saints regained the lead in the bottom of the sixth. The Saints had three straight singles to load the bases. Jazdzewski then hit a sacrifice fly to left that scored Shauney Moen (Oak Grove, Minn./St. Francis HS). The next batter, Logergren hit a three-run home run to center field to ultimately give the Saints a 10-6 victory.
 
Mizera came in relief and earned the win, striking out five in 3.2 innings. The Saints hit 12 home runs in the four conference games. Logergren had four of them and 12 RBIs on the weekend.
