The St. Thomas baseball team is set to host two opponents this week at Koch Diamond. They will play Minnesota in a non-conference matchup on April 14 and face Northern Colorado in a four-game conference series from April 17 to 19. Minnesota holds a 21-14 record while St. Thomas currently stands at 3-14 against the Gophers historically. The Tommies previously faced Northern Colorado earlier this season, splitting the games.

By the Numbers
  • St. Thomas holds a 3-14 all-time record against Minnesota.
  • Northern Colorado leads in home runs with senior Jaden Stone hitting .343 this season.
Yes, But

The Tommies have struggled against both opponents historically, losing heavily to Minnesota in recent matchups and showing inconsistency against Northern Colorado. They will need to capitalize on home-field advantage to improve their records.

State of Play
  • The Tommies just completed a series against South Dakota State, losing 2-1.
  • Owen Bond is a standout performer, ranking fifth in batting average in the Summit League this season.
What's Next

St. Thomas aims to regain momentum with the upcoming games, focusing on capitalizing against Minnesota and securing a strong outcome in the Northern Colorado series. Successful performances could influence their standings in the Summit League.

Bottom Line

The Tommies need to leverage their home advantage to turn around their recent losses and bring energy to this week's games, particularly with the critical conference series against Northern Colorado on the horizon.
