TIGERS WIN SERIES AGAINST ST. FRANCIS, IMPROVES TO .500 IN CCAC PLAY

St. Francis (IL) - The Tigers wasted no time in game one, answering an early Saints run with a three-spot in the bottom of the first. Jacob York delivered a two-RBI single, and Quinn Rost followed with an RBI knock to give Olivet a 3–1 lead they never surrendered. Landon Holt added insurance in the sixth with a no-doubt solo homer, and Mason Bogan's two-run sacrifice groundout in the seventh stretched the margin to 6–2. Alex Seaton led the offense with a three-hit day. Tyler Snoreck was excellent on the mound, working eight innings while scattering 10 hits and allowing just three runs. Bryson Horning closed the door with a clean ninth.

In game two, Olivet opened the scoring in the second when Mason Bogan lined an RBI single to bring home Jacob York, who had doubled earlier in the inning. York and Bogan each finished with multi-hit games, while Alex Seaton added another strong performance with a base hit of his own. Evan Anderson kept the Saints off the board through five innings, allowing just three hits before St. Francis broke through with a five-run sixth, which led to the 8-1 loss.

On Saturday in game three, Olivet Nazarene put together a complete team performance, using a four-run fifth inning and dominant pitching from Qade Carrington to secure a 6–1 win. The Tigers broke through in the third when Alex Seaton and Landon Holt delivered back-to-back RBI singles. Olivet blew the game open two innings later: Mason Bogan dropped down a bunt single to score Holt, and Jude Coursey followed with the biggest swing of the day—a three-run double to right-center that stretched the lead to 6–0. Carrington was outstanding on the mound, working 8.1 innings while allowing just one run and scattering 10 hits. Owen Roberts closed the door with the final two outs.

In the series finale, Nicholas Gniedziejko was in full command on the mound from the start, scattering six hits over seven innings while striking out eight and issuing no walks. The right-hander faced 28 batters and never allowed the Saints to build momentum, securing his first win of the season. The Tigers backed him with timely power. Landon Holt opened the scoring in the third with a solo homer to right-center, and Alex Seaton followed two innings later with a blast of his own to extend the lead. In the sixth, Jude Coursey added insurance with an RBI single to score Mason Bogan. The tigers secure the 3-1 series win and improve to 6-6 in CCAC conference play.
