St. Ambrose got back to within a game of .500 in CCAC play by sweeping a doubleheader at Calumet St. Joseph by scores of 11-1 and 9-6 Friday.

Andrew Rodriguez and Zach Stroman each homered and drove in three runs in the opener. Rodriguez hit a solo shot in the fourth inning and Stroman added a two-run homer in the sixth.

But it was a six-run second inning that won the game. Liam Dennehy had the big hit in the inning with a two-run double. Mike Snow, Rodriguez, Cole Aughenbaugh and Stroman also had RBIs in the frame that gave St. Ambrose a 7-0 lead.

Peyton Minder had an RBI single in the fifth to account for the other Bee run.

Nine different Bees had hits with Rodriguez leading the way with three. Mike Coughlin, Dennehy, Stroman and Noah Powless each had two of the team's 15 hits.

Colton Carr was the beneficiary of the offensive outburst. He went the distance striking out eight while allowing just five hits and the one earned run.

Minder had a big two-out, two-run double in the 10th inning to help St. Ambrose (15-24, 13-14 CCAC) to the 9-6 win in extra innings in the nightcap. Two hitters later, Snow tripled in a pair as the Bees took advantage of two Crimson Wave errors in the inning to plate four unearned runs.

That came on the heels of a three-run ninth inning that gave SAU a short-lived 5-3 lead. An error on a Coughlin ground ball allowed two runs to score and Snow followed with a run-scoring single to help the Bees rally for the 5-3 lead. But in the bottom of the inning, Calumet (8-39, 1-26 CCAC) answered with two runs to force extra innings.

Noah Kesselmayer, in relief of Fabian Garcia, allowed a run in the 10th in his one inning of work. Garcia got the win by giving up three earned runs over nine innings. He struck out nine.

Powless finished 3-for-4 while Snow, Aughenbaugh and Minder each collected two hits.

The two teams are scheduled to conclude their three-game set with a nine-inning contest at Modern Woodmen Park Sunday at 6 p.m.
