No. 5-ranked St. Thomas used defense and timely hitting to come away with a 3-2, 4-3 baseball sweep of Dubuque in Tuesday afternoon play in the Metrodome.
The Tommies (7-3) had no errors on the day and threw out two runners on the bases. Six Tommie pitchers issued just one walk to help pull out the close wins.
J.D. Dorgan's two-run homer in the fourth inning of game one erased a 1-1 tie. Mark Dominik and Steve Maher were credited with three scoreless innings in relief to give starter Zach Franz the victory.
UST broke to a 4-0 lead in game two then held off a late rally for the Spartans (0-6). Freshman Eric Veglahn took the win with four scoreless innings in his first collegiate appearance. Dylan Thomas came on for the last inning with a 4-1 lead but allowed three singles that trimmed the lead to 4-2. Thomas got a strikeout, a sacrifice fly and a ground out to freeze the tying run at first base and claim the save.
In game two, Ben Podobinski went 3-for-4 with two RBI hits; Ryan Gerber had a solo homer; and Thomas added an RBI double. Veglahn struck out three and allowed just three hits.
Spencer Kuehn and Chris Briggs each had two hits to pace Dubuque's nine-hit attack in game two.
The Tommies face No. 20-ranked UW-Stevens Point on Saturday to open an eight-game trip to Winter Haven, Fla.
