            Concordia-St. Paul used a five-run fifth inning in the opener and a seven-run sixth inning in the second game to sweep Wayne State 9-4 and 8-4 in Northern Sun Conference baseball played Tuesday afternoon at the Pete Chapman Baseball Complex in Wayne.  WSC saw a six-game win streak snapped with the losses, falling to 12-10 overall and 7-3 in the NSIC while the visiting Golden Bears move to 9-9 and 7-3 in league play.
            WSC had just five hits in the opener.  Michael Herman had an RBI single in the first inning that scored Aaron Krier. Krier produced an RBI single in a three-run four inning to go with a double from Chris May.  The other Wildcat hit was a double by Nate Ackerman.
            With the score tied 4-4 after four innings, Concordia-St. Paul broke loose for five runs on five hits along with two Wildcat errors to win the opener 9-4.
            Sophomore reliever Joey Lenihan, one of five Wildcat pitchers in the opener, suffered the pitching loss.  He was charged with three runs on two hits in one-third of an inning.
            The second game saw the visiting Golden Bears rally from a 3-1 deficit with a seven-run sixth inning to complete the sweep with an 8-3 win over the Wildcats.
            Trailing 1-0 in the third, WSC took a 2-1 lead on a bases loaded walk to Nate Ackerman and a sacrifice fly by Herman. 
            The 'Cats took a 3-1 lead in the fourth when Kevin Andersen reached on a CU error and scored on a Curtis Bussard RBI single.
            But Concordia-St. Paul used another big inning, this time a seven-run sixth on five hits, one Wildcat error, two hit batters and a walk, to take control of the game for an 8-3 lead.
            Concordia-St. Paul had nine hits in the game to eight by Wayne State.   Bussard finished 3 for 5 and an RBI to lead the Wildcats at the plate.  Zak Leighton had Wayne State's lone extra base hit, a double, going 1 for 3 with two runs scored.  Andersen, Krier, Herman and Nick McIntee also singled for the Wildcats.
            Starting pitcher Nick Ragan (0-2) was credited with the loss on the mound, charged with five runs on four hits over 5 1/3 innings pitched with five strikeouts and one walk.
            The Wildcats will be on the road this weekend, visiting 10^th-ranked St. Cloud State in a four-game NSIC series on Friday at 1:30 p.m. and Saturday at noon in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
