Senior Tim Kahle had four hits and freshman J.D. Dorgan drove in four runs on the day as the Tommie baseball team swept the host Concordia Cobbers 8-0 and 6-0 in Tuesday's MIAC games in Moorhead.
Junior lefty Bryce Gapinski threw a two-hit shutout with no walks in game one. Freshman lefty Zach Franz allowed two hits and two walks over six innings in game two to win his second consecutive start.
The Tommies (17-14 overall, 10-4 MIAC) have won nine of their last 10 games and swept their third conference twinbill in the last 10 days.
Tuesday's sweep kept UST in the thick of the conference title race with six games to play. Macalester (9-1), Hamline (9-3), St. John's (9-3) and UST (10-4) hold the top four spots.
UST outhit the Cobbers 20-4 and had no errors on the day. Senior Matt McQuillan had three hits in game one and senior Tayler Rahm had three hits in game two.
Kahle now has had three consecutive two-hit games. Dorgan has a hit or run in 15 consecutive games.
The Tommies are scheduled to play their last seven regular-season games in St. Paul starting Saturday when they play host to St. Olaf in a 1 p.m. twinbill.
