Augsburg splits doubleheader at Macalester

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Behind a strong pitching effort by Austin Jerylo (JR, Stillwater, Minn./Mahtomedi HS), the Augsburg University baseball team picked up a win against Macalester College in the first game of a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader on Saturday afternoon at Nicholson Field. 

THE BASICS
SCORE: Augsburg 8, Macalester 3; Macalester 12, Augsburg 1 (7 inn.)
LOCATION: Nicholson Field, St. Paul, Minn.
RECORD: Augsburg 3-9 overall (1-3 MIAC), Macalester 2-1 overall (2-1 MIAC)

GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS
• In his first win of the season, Jerylo pitched a complete seven-inning game, striking out six and giving up only one walk, against 31 batters faced. 
• Trailing 1-0 heading into the second inning, Augsburg was able to tie the game on a Carson Tomony (SO, Madison, Wis./Madison East HS) single, plating Steven Salz (SO, Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove HS). Salz reached the bases with a leadoff double and was advanced to third on a single by Michael Weiss (SO, Marion, Iowa/Linn-Mar HS). Macalester added two more runs in the bottom half of the frame.
• The Auggies tallied four runs in the top of the third, taking a 5-3 lead. The first run scored off the bat of Weiss, an RBI single that drove in Kyle Hoppe (SR, Andover, Minn./Andover HS). Connor Stoik (SO, Eau Claire, Wis./Eau Claire Memorial HS) crossed home plate, tying the game, on a wild pitch. Ty Gage (FY, Eagan, Minn./Eagan HS) hit a two-run single, scoring Weiss and Tomony. 
• Augsburg scored three more runs, off four hits, in the fifth inning. The inning started with back-to-back singles by Weiss and Tomony, and then both Auggies came around to score on a double to right field by Gage. Josh Tyler (SR, Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove HS) then singled to left field, scoring Gage for the final run of the game.

GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS
• The Augsburg bats were held quiet in the second of the doubleheader, only collecting three hits and scoring a single run, falling to Macalester 12-1 in seven innings. 
• Macalester scored five runs in the second inning, three runs in the second and third innings, and one more run in the fifth. 
• The lone Augsburg run was scored in the seventh inning. Will Weick (FY, Rochester, Minn./Mayo HS) scored an unearned run when Jerylo reached first base on an error. 
• All three Auggie hits were singles, hit by Stoik, Noah Thomas (SO, Woodbury, Minn./East Ridge HS) and Matt Krenz (JR, Becker, Minn./Becker HS). 
• Five Augsburg pitchers saw the mound in the game, with Stoik getting the start. Weston Schug (JR, Becker, Minn./Becker HS) made his season-debut with 1.1 innings of relief. Kaden Gage (SO, Eagan, Minn./Eagan HS), Cam Fischer (FY, Becker, Minn./Becker HS) and John Retterath (SO, Excelsior, Minn./Minnetonka HS) all pitched in relief for the Auggies.
