Hamline University Athletics

It wasn't true that Collin Olstad was on base after every bat he had last Saturday against St. Thomas. 

It just seemed that way. 

The outfielder went 5-for-9 with two doubles, two runs scored and four RBI in the Pipers' doubleheader agianst the defending league champs at Siebert Field. It was part of a 6-for-16 week as HU won once and lost thrice to fall to 10-11 overall on the season. 

Against UST, Olstad singled home a pair of runs in the 7-3 opening game loss. In the nightcap -- an agonizing 9-7, 11 inning setback -- Collin's two RBI diouble in the seventh inning served as the impetus for a rally that put Hamline ahead, 7-6.

Olstad is now hitting a solid .365 and his 11 doubles ranks second among all conference swatters. 

Olstad and his mates have a pair of twinbills on tap this week. They play Augsburg Tuesday at Parade Stadium (2:30 p.m.) and then get their first games at their new home park -- CHS Field in downtown St. Paul -- this Saturday, April 11. Game time for the pair against Concordia is 1:00 p.m.
