lincoln, neb. - senior right handed pitchers aaron pfalzgraff (garland, texas) and chris kimpton (canberra, aus.) combined on a three hit shutout to lead concordia university (15-3) to a 10-0 win in a single nine inning contest against the university of mary (3-15) on sunday afternoon at kiwanis field in a neutral site non-conference matchup between the northern sun squads.

pfalzgraff started the game, working five innings of three hit pitching with four strikeouts. He picked up the win, improving to 2-0 on the season in four starts. He picked up both wins this week.

kimpton came out of the bullpen and was lights-out, providing four perfect innings of relief to earn the save.

Kimpton worked 10 solid innings in two appearances this week, earning a win and a save allowing just two runs between the 10 frames.
