Austin Colvard's two-out single in the top of the 10th inning provided the margin of victory as The College of St. Scholastica (Minn.) baseball team defeated UW-Oshkosh, 3-2, on Friday (March 18) in Auburndale, Fla.

Chris Olson opened the 10th inning for the Saints (3-1) with a double and was replaced by pinch runner Haydn Lanoue. Following a strikeout and a fly out, Lanoue advanced to third base on a passed ball and scored on Colvard's third hit of the game. 

UW-Oshkosh (0-5) sent the contest to extra innings with a run in the bottom of the seventh inning. Pinch-hitter Zach Radde walked to open the frame and advanced to second base on Noah Polcyn's sacrifice bunt. Sam Schwenn then pinch ran for Radde and moved to third base on a wild pitch before scoring on Jack Paulson's sacrifice fly.

The Titans, who turned double plays in the first, third, sixth and seventh innings, took a 1-0 lead on Taylor Grimm's second-inning sacrifice fly. 

The College of Scholastica grabbed a 2-1 advantage with a pair of runs in the fourth inning. The Saints scored on a double by Riley Bernsdorf and a single by Trevor Bernsdorf in consecutive at-bats.

Colvard and Trevor Bernsdorf tallied three hits for the Saints and Brian Minks two. The Titans received two of their six hits from Andy Brahier.
