COON RAPIDS, Minn. - The Minnesota Morris baseball team completed their second conference road sweep in as many days with 6-5 and 6-4 wins Saturday at North Central to push their win streak to six.

With the tying run on base for the Rams in the bottom of the 11th, Thomas Eckstein came on relieve to retire the final two batters, including a strikeout to end the game, to record his first save of the season.

The Cougars used a late-inning comeback to take the nightcap, 6-4. They trailed 4-2 before scoring four times in the eighth to take the lead. Luedtke hit a one-out double to right to start the rally. Two batters later, Trent Johnson's RBI single through the left side made it 4-3. After an RBI groundout tied the game, Connor Spindler's RBI single up the middle scored Johnson to take a 5-4 lead. After Spindler stole second, Jackson Gessell's RBI single to center plated Spindler to put the Cougars up 2.
