St. Thomas is heading to the Division III College World Series, after winning two elimination games over Pacific on Monday and three in 24 hours in Collegeville, Minn.
The Tommies, needing to win twice Monday to advance to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, beat Pacific 7-4 in the first game after falling behind 4-0. They won 13-9 in Game 2, rallying for a five-run ninth after Pacific had gone ahead with five runs in the seventh.
Matthew Ench (Edina) went 6-for-7 in the doubleheader, and Charlie Bartholomew (Mahtomedi) went 4-for-7 with four RBI.
•Also advancing to the eight-team CWS is Johns Hopkins, which eliminated Northwestern (St. Paul) with a 3-2 victory Monday in the St. Paul regional.
Two tennis titles for Carleton
The Carleton men's tennis program earned its first and second individual national championships Sunday, as senior Leo Vithoontien won the NCAA Division III singles championship, then teamed with Xander Suczek to claim the doubles title.
Vithoontien, the national runner-up in 2019, defeated Tufts' Boris Sorkin 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 in the finale. Six hours later, he and Zuczek won 6-3, 6-2 over Brandeis' Jeffrey Chen and Adam Tzeng in straight sets (6-3, 6-2). It was the 12th time in NCAA Division III men's tennis history that a player won the national championship in both singles and doubles.
The doubles national championship was nearly an All-MIAC finale, as the Gustavus All-America duo of Nick Aney and Alex Budde came up just short of a title match appearance, falling in the semifinals by a score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-7 (2).
Saints' Jax honored
Saints righthander Griffin Jax, who struck out 10 in six scoreless inning on Friday night against Iowa, was chosen the Triple-A East pitcher of the week.
Jax's victory in the Saints' first shutout of the season was part of a 6-0 week for St. Paul.
The 26-year-old Jax, a former third-round draft choice of the Twins out of the Air Force Academy, is 3-1 with a 3.33 ERA in five starts.
Jax was also named the Twins minor league pitcher of the week.
Etc.
