Baseball Battles Gustavus, Earning the Split with a 5-3 Game Two Win

ST. PETER, Minn. – The University of Northwestern baseball team took on MIAC opponent, Gustavus Adolphus in a pair of seven inning non-conference games Wednesday afternoon. After falling in a close 3-0 game one, the Eagles came back to take down the Gusties 5-3 in game two. UNW moves to 11-7 on the year, while Gustavus is 10-6 overall this season.
 
Game 1: Gustavus 3, Northwestern 0
One hit in the first inning was the determining factor in game one. It was a three-run homer in the bottom half of the inning that gave the Gusties a 3-0 lead.
 
The Eagles out-hit the opponent 4-3 to finish out the game, but were unable to get any runs on the board.
 
Wyatt Morrell (Elk River, Minn./Home School), Guerin Szafraniec (Brighton, Colo./Brighton), Holt Goodwin (Orinda, Calif./Miramonte) and Sam Peterson (Aitkin, Minn./Aitkin) recorded a hit apiece in the loss. Quinton Lindow (Cannon Falls, Minn./Cannon Falls) got the nod, pitching six complete and giving up two earned runs and just five hits in the loss.
 
Game 2: Northwestern 5, Gustavus 3
The Eagles were quick to respond in game two, scoring three runs off the bat in the top of the first. A pair of hits from Aaron Krahn (Roseau, Minn./Roseau) and Philip Wall (Juneau, Alaska/IDEA) combined with three Gustavus errors resulted in a wealth of production for the Eagles.
 
UNW tacked on one more run in both the second and third innings as Holt Goodwin (Orinda, Calif./Miramonte) and Krahn recorded RBI singles to give Northwestern the 5-0 lead.
 
The Gusties fought back, scoring three runs in the bottom of the third, but it wasn't enough to deter the Eagles. In six innings of work, Chad Wakabayashi (Waipahu, Hawaii/Hanalani) allowed just two hits and no earned runs.
 
Philip Wall (Juneau, Alaska/IDEA) came in retire the side in the seventh, striking out one. Wall earned his first save of the season. Wakabayashi and Wall combined to allow no hits and just one base runner in the final four innings of play.
 
Northwestern will return to action on Saturday, April 6 when they welcome Northland to Reynolds Field. First pitch is slated for 4:00 p.m. The Eagles will be the visiting team in the match-up as the game was originally scheduled to take place in Ashland. The UMAC doubleheader will feature two, nine-inning games.
