May 11, 2006 Lacey, WA --- The Saints pounded out 17 hits, including three each by Nate Baker (So., Bothell, WA), Richard O'Neill (So., Edmonds, WA) and Ezzard Wilkins (Fr., Lacey, WA), to win the opener 12-7. Saint Martin's fell 3-2 in the nightcap to come away with a split of a Great Northwest Athletic Conference doubleheader Thursday at Saints Field. In the opener, Baker's two-run single snapped a 7-7 tie and the Saints added three insurance runs; one on a single by Adam Siler (Jr., Port Orchard, WA), one on a triple by O'Neill and another on a wild pitch. Baker and Siler each drove in three runs and Maki Smith (Jr., Shoreline, WA), Curtis Thibault (Jr., Cashmere, WA) and Siler each had two hits for the Saints (16-29, 8-13 GNAC). Brady Halverson (Sr., Seattle, WA), playing in his final home game, pitched the first seven innings and left with a 5-4 lead. Brett Efaw (Jr., Boise, ID), who pitched the final two innings, received credit for the victory. In the nightcap, CWU’s Rick Templeton allowed two runs in the third, but then blanked Saint Martin's on one hit over the final four innings. Nicholas Bolthouse (So., Eagle, ID) scattered seven hits over the first six innings, but managed to hold the Wildcats off the scoreboard until the sixth inning. Also playing in his final home game, Donnie Bradetich (Sr., Eugene, OR), tallied one of SMU’s three hits in the contest.
