MEQUON, Wis. - Edgewood College turned on the offense in a doubleheader sweep over MSOE on Sunday, and as a result claimed sole possession of fourth place in the Northern Athletics Conference. Edgewood College racked up 33 hits, including nine for extra bases and got complete game pitching performances from Brad Clark and Taylor Hillmann to win 12-2 and 9-1 over the Raiders.

Edgewood College (10-16, 8-4 NAC) scored in every inning of the opening game which ended after seven innings due to the 10-run rule. Three Eagles had three hits apiece in the game led by Ryan O'Dell who went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a triple. At that point, O'Dell's last eight hits were all for extra bases. Alex Jaskulski went 3-for-3 with a double, a sacrifice fly and a season-high four runs batted in. Marc Ostrowski also had three hits in five trips to the plate, knocking out a pair of doubles.

On the mound, Brad Clark cruised comfortably through seven innings for first career complete game victory. He allowed just two runs in the sixth inning and only one was earned. For the game Clark allowed just five hits and struck out seven MSOE (5-13, 1-11 NAC) batters.

In the second game, the Eagles led 1-0 before blowing the game open with a five-run sixth inning. Zach Creekmore, Eric Curtis and Jared Raupp all had RBI hits in the sixth inning. Seven different Eagles had multiple hits in the 17-hit outburst, led by Andrew Lauritzen and Creekmore. Lauritzen went 3-for-4 with a triple and swiped a career-high four bases. Creekmore was 3-for-5 with a double and a stolen base. Raupp had two hits and a team-high two runs batted in.

Taylor Hillmann matched Clark's performance from game one with a complete game victory of his own. He allowed just one earned run, which came in the eighth inning with the Eagles leading 8-0. Hillmann struck out four Raiders and gave up just five hits in the second complete game victory of his career.

Edgewood College sits in fourth place in the Northern Athletics Conference with two key doubleheaders mid-week. The Eagles will travel to sixth place Marian University on Tuesday, before hosting Wisconsin Lutheran College on Wednesday. The top six teams qualify for the NAC Tournament on May 9-11 at Kapco Park in Mequon.
