Clement, a sophomore transfer from Kansas State, went 2-for-4 with four RBIs to pace a Norse offense that collected 10 hits on the day. His two-out, two-run shot to left on a 1-2 pitch in the 10th inning was the difference in the game.
A two-run triple in the sixth inning by Clement helped the Norse claim a 7-3 lead early in the game, but Cedarville (15-5) came back with a run in the sixth, two more in the seventh and, after an NKU run in eighth, two more runs in the bottom of the eighth to tie things up and send the game into extra innings.
