St. Olaf baseball team members Ben Hughes '12 and Alex Sommer '09 each tossed complete game wins, and Todd Mathison '09 went a combined 7-for-10 with 10 RBIs as St. Olaf defeated St. Thomas 19-1 and 8-0 to win the MIAC playoffs and earn the MIAC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament that will begin later this week.
