ST. PAUL, Minn. (April 29, 2018) - After winning nine of their last 10 games, UW-Stout ran into a buzzsaw and dropped both ends of a non-conference doubleheader to eighth-ranked St. Thomas Sunday, falling 3-0, 7-1.
While the Blue Devils (21-8) held St. Thomas (32-6) to three runs - four runs under their per game average of seven runs - Tommies' pitcher Hayley Dunning threw a no-hitter, facing one batter over the limit when Stout's
Rachel Thomas drew a walk in the third inning. Dunning struck out two. Stout's
Beth Wood took her third loss of the season, scattering seven hits, striking out and walking one, and allowing three earned runs.
The Blue Devils (21-8) struck first in game two, getting three hits and taking advantage a Tommies error in the first inning.
Mary Iliopoulos reached on an error after one out and advanced to third, then came home on Wood's groundout to second base.
Alicia Meyer singled and
Sommer Kunstmann doubled, but both runners were stranded.
The Tommies scored three runs in the first, one in the second and three in the fourth. St. Thomas out-hit Stout, 12-5, in the game. Kunstmann, who took the loss after giving up four runs, was 2-for-3 at the plate.
Stout is scheduled to wrap up regular season conference play when they travel to UW-Oshkosh, Monday, April 30 with a 2 p.m. start.
