Strong starts by Miller, Zanolli key Marauders doubleheader sweep of Golden Bears

BRANDON, SD – Impressive starts by Paxton Miller and Jaxon Zanolli combined with clutch hitting led the University of Mary to a Northern Sun doubleheader sweep of Concordia-St. Paul. The Marauders won the opener 7-2 before claiming game two 13-2.
 
GAME 1 | UMary 7 CSP 2
Marauders starting pitcher Paxton Miller limited the Golden Bears to one run in five innings as UMary captured game one 7-2. The senior righthander struck out five and while holding the CSP bats to four hits to earn his second win of the season.
 
The Marauders ripped three doubles in the first inning to score two runs. Kalem Haney led off with a double before scoring on a two-bagger by Josh Walker. Carter Beck ripped a shot to right field to score Walker.
 
After CSP scored a run in the fourth to cut the UMary lead in half, the Marauders scored five runs in the bottom of the inning to jump ahead 7-1 as Walked singled home two runs and Beck clubbed a 3-run home run to right center.
 
The Golden Bears made a run in the seventh, scoring on a wild pitch and loading the bases without an out being recorded. Mark Schommer then stepped into the fray with aplomb, striking out three straight batters to close out the Marauders win.
