OTTAWA --
Thomas Mienkowski tossed a four-hit shutout and infielder
Benji Kaiserman sparked
the offence with three hits as visiting McGill defeated the Carleton Ravens 9-0 on Saturday afternoon to sweep a doubleheader and extend their win streak to 15. McGill, the defending three-time Canadian Collegiate Baseball Association champs, also cruised to a 14-0 victory in the first game.
The Redmen, who scored in each of the first five innings, improved to 4-0 on the season but haven't lost a regular season contest in over a year, dating back to Sept. 10, 2016 when they dropped a 7-4 decision to Ottawa.
Mienkowski, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound right-hander from Toronto, struck out four, hit two batters and walked none in a masterful seven-inning complete game. The 19-year-old economics sophomore threw 87 pitches, 57 for strikes.
Kaiserman, a 21-year-old psychology junior from Los Angeles, was 3-for-4 with a run scored. Hitting from the bottom of the batting order, the 5-foot-9 second baseman stroked an RBI double in the second inning to extend the Redmen lead to 2-0.
McGill, which had 11 hits in the game and didn't commit a single error in the field, tallied another run in the third, two in the fourth and four more in the fifth.
