VERONA - St. Norbert College picked up a pair of crucial victories as the Green Knights swept Edgewood College 4-3 and 5-3 in a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference doubleheader at Stampfl Field.

The Green Knights (16-14, 13-7 NACC) remained in fourth place in the NACC standings with four games left to play. The top six teams qualify for the NACC Tournament, with six teams entering today's action battling for the final three spots.

St. Norbert rode the pitching of Trevor Reinhardt to the win in Game 1, with the right-hander fashioning a complete-game win allowing just five hits with one walk and seven strikeouts. The Green Knights held a 4-2 lead entering the bottom of the ninth inning, with a single and double for Edgewood putting runners at second and third with nobody out. A run was balked in to cut the deficit to one run and the potentially tying run at third base with no out, but Reinhardt coaxed a popup, a strikeout and a fly ball to escape the threat and preserve the win.

Edgewood took a 2-0 lead in the third inning on a two-run home run by Alex Prindle. St. Norbert would break through in the fifth when Nick Volz singled home Tommy Sheehan and Devin Geary. The Green Knights got an RBI double from Keagan McCarthy in the sixth inning to take a 3-2 lead, and picked up a valuable insurance run in the eighth inning when McCarthy scored on an error.

McCarthy was 2-for-4 to lead St. Norbert, which had seven hits.

In the nightcap, St. Norbert again trailed 2-0 when Edgewood scored single runs in the first and second innings. The Green Knights scored three times in the fourth inning. Reinhardt singled in a run and Volz then forced in a run with a bases-loaded walk. Geary then scored on a failed pickoff attempt for a 3-2 lead. St. Norbert picked up a tack-on run in the eighth when Caden Uhlenbrauck scored on a wild pitch.

Edgewood would get runners on second and third with one out in the bottom of the ninth, but Sam O'Leary slammed the door with a strikeout and groundout to end the game.

Uhlenbracuk was 3-for-4 with two runs scored, while Adam Cootway was 2-for-5. Luke Steebs got the win, allowing three hits and one earned run with one walk and two strikeouts in seven innings pitched.
