Box Score CAROL STREAM, Ill. – The Edgewood College baseball team received the gift of some rare warm weather, and took advantage of it by defeating St. Mary's University (Minn.) 10-2 in their first northern game. Sean Thompson hit his first career home run and Trevor Koehn didn't allow an earned run through nearly seven innings as the Eagles snapped a six-game losing streak.

Edgewood College (4-8) drew first blood on a Nick Lehner sacrifice fly that scored Andrew Lauritzen from third base. Lauritzen arrived at third base after being hit by a pitch and stealing both second and third, for his seventh and eighth stolen bases of the season. Lauirtzen returned the favor in the fifth inning with an RBI triple, that scored Marc Ostrowski who had also driven in a run with an RBI double. Danny Appino plated Lauritzen with an RBI groundout.

In the sixth, the Eagles extended their lead to 8-1 with a four-run frame. Brad Clark had a two-run double and Appino delivered a two-run bases loaded single. Thompson provided the final piece of offense with a two-run home run to left field, marking his first career round-tripper.

On the mound Koehn dominated, allowing only an unearned run in the fifth and another unearned run in the seventh inning before being replaced by Bryce Ziegler. Koehn struck out seven Cardinal batters and allowed just three hits in six and two-thirds innings. Ziegler faced just one batter, but recorded the final out in the seventh when St. Mary's (3-8) had the bases loaded. Nate Averill came in to complete the final two innings, striking out two batters.

Clark led all Eagle batters going 2-for-3 with two runs batted in. He reached base four times, thanks to a pair of walks. Ostrowski had a pair of doubles in three official at-bats. Ryan O'Dell also had two hits with a pair of singles. Appino went 1-for-4, but led the team with three runs batted in. The bottom five spots in the Eagles batting order went 8-for-19 on the day.

Edgewood College will return to Pfund  Stadium tomorrow for an afternoon rematch with the Cardinals followed by a twilight game against host Wheaton College (Ill.) at 5:00 p.m.
