3/26/2022 6:06:00 PM | Baseball
Freshman Brigs Richartz posted his first collegiate three-hit game to lead a 13-hit attack for St. Thomas (4-13 overall, 1-1 Summit), which also posted its first D-I comeback win.
The Purple were 0-13 in road games coming into Saturday, although eight of those losses came by one or two runs.
The Toms outhit the host team 13-6. Bartholomew and Max Moris each posted two hits and two RBI, and Ben Vujovich and Avery Lehman added two hits apiece.
St. Thomas' fourth pitcher to take the hill, redshirt junior T.J. Constertina, secured the final seven outs and gained his first Division I pitching win. Constertina closed out the game by striking out the final two batters looking.
The Toms held leads of 3-0 early and 5-1 in the late going. But Omaha (8-13, 1-1) scored five runs in the seventh inning, including four unearned, making the most of only two hits.The Mavs used an error, two hit batters, three walks and two singles to plate five runs for a 6-5 lead.
The Toms responded in the eighth inning to tie the score at 6-6. Moris singled with one out, had a two-out steal, took third base on a throwing error, and came home on Jake Porter's RBI infield single.
St. Thomas scored the go-ahead and insurance runs in the top of the ninth inning. After a leadoff ground out, Richartz singled to second base, then took second base on Vujovich's single. Kyle Halverson walked, before Bartholomew's bases-loaded RBI single made it 7-6. An RBI ground out by Moris made it 8-6.
The teams play again Sunday here at 1 p.m. in the rubber game of the three-game set.
