Stats
Record: 21-10, 15-0 UMAC

The Saints swept both Crown College and the University of Minnesota Morris over the weekend to extend its winning streak to 15 games … Nikki Logergren (Duluth, Minn./Duluth Denfeld HS (Northern Stars)) had three home runs and 10 RBIs in the four games … Micah McGuiness (Forest Lake, Minn./Forest Lake HS) added seven RBIs and a pitching win.
 
Unbeaten: The Saints have won 32 straight home games dating back to the 2011 season … The last loss at Kenwood Field was an 11-5 victory for Northland College on May 3, 2011 … CSS has also won 35 straight UMAC regular season games dating back to April 29, 2013 when Northland defeated the Saints 4-1 in Ashland, Wisconsin.

On the Verge of Another UMAC Crown: With six conference games remaining, the Saints hold a five-game lead in the loss column over second place Minnesota Morris … CSS have already swept all three games from Morris already, so they can clinch the No. 1 seed and a share of the regular season crown with one win and can capture the regular season title outright with two more wins.

Top of the UMAC: Mizera leads the conference with 13 wins and a 2.30 earned run average … McCabe and Logergren are tied for the league lead with five home runs … Warren has thrown out a UMAC best 11 base stealers.
