GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS
• Tied 2-2 after regulation in the first game, scheduled for seven innings, the Auggies used Brookshaw's two-out grand slam in the top of the ninth inning to take a 6-2 lead -- enough to survive a three-run homer by the Cardinals in the bottom of the ninth inning and take the first-game win.

GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS
• Brookshaw hit a solo homer in the top of the first inning to give the Auggies the early lead, but Saint Mary's scored four runs in the bottom of the frame.

• Brandon Schmahl (SR, Minneapolis, Minn./Washburn HS) hit a two-run homer in the top of the seventh inning to tie the game at 5-5, but Saint Mary's claimed a two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to walk off with the win.
