If Saint Mary’s University baseball coach Nick Winecke was concerned that his squad might show any ill effects after dropping the first two games of their three-game Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference series against St. Olaf College, the Cardinals quickly put those fears to rest.
Saint Mary’s erupted for five, third-inning runs and their offense never showed signs of letting up, as the Cardinals scored in each of the final five innings they batted en route to an 11-0 victory at Mark Almli Field.
The Cardinals, coming off 8-4 and 14-6 losses to the Oles at Max Molock Field on Saturday, started slow being held off the scoreboard in each of their first two at-bats.

Cardinals’ offense in high gear in opener (3/10/2021)
If Saint Mary’s University baseball coach had any concern what a year lay-off would do to his squad, the Cardinals promptly put those fears to rest in their very first at-bat.
The Cardinals erupted for six runs in the top of the first inning and never looked back in cruising to an 8-2 win over St. Scholastica in the first game of their non-conference doubleheader at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Saint Mary’s put up another six-run first in the nightcap, but the Saints would rally, grabbing 9-8 lead heading into the sixth inning when the game was halted due to time limit. The game will be completed on another day, if schedules allow.
