The St. Olaf baseball team swept Luther College 4-2 and 5-2 in a non-conference doubleheader in Decorah, Iowa Sunday afternoon.

The Oles have won seven straight.

Joe Blankush (Jr., Duluth, Minn.) pitched a complete game in game one, and Dan O'Malley (FY, St. Anthony, Minn.) worked six scoreless innings to lead the Oles to the sweep.

Blankush threw just 78 pitches, walked none and struck out five in the game one win, and pitched the first inning of game two.

O'Malley allowed just two hits and walked only one, earning his second win of the year.

St. Olaf (13-10, 6-2) will travel to St. Paul Wednesday for an MIAC doubleheader with league-leading St. Thomas (15-5-1, 6-0). Game one will start a 2:30 p.m.
