HELENA, Montana– No. 1 Oregon Tech (22-4) stayed perfect improving to 9-0 in Cascade Conference play with a game one 7-0 win over Carroll College (3-15); the Fighting Saints however took game two, a non-conference game, 5-2 snapping Oregon Tech's 20 game win streak.
 
"We played good in game one today but unfortunately did not hit like we can in game two," said head coach Greg Stewart. "Carroll's pitcher did a nice job from start to finish and they got some clutch hits late in the game."
