Furman gets series-sweep over @NKUNorseBSB with 9-0 win

GREENVILLE, S.C. – The Northern Kentucky University baseball team (0-7, 0-0 HL) lost to Furman (5-3, 0-0 Southern), 9-0, on Sunday afternoon at Latham Stadium. John Michael Bertrand (W, 2-0) gets the win for Furman, while Kyle Service (L, 0-1) is given the loss for NKU.

AT THE PLATE

ON THE MOUND

  • Service threw for four innings in his first start of the year. In 76 pitches, he allowed five runs, eight hits and a pair of walks.
  • Blaine Walters worked the mound for a couple of innings, yielding four runs, three of which were earned, on five hits and three walks.
  • Jake Pease put together a pair of scoreless innings to finish out the game, allowing just one hit delivering a trio of strikeouts.

KEY MOMENTS

  • With runners on first and third, Furman brought home the first run of the afternoon with a single to left in the first.
  • One of the best opportunities for the Norse to get a run came in the second. Bacon led things off with a double to the left-center gap, but three-straight strikeouts retired the Norse afterward.
  • Two more runs came in for the Paladins during their half of the second. A couple of singles and a wild pitch put runners on second and third before a single to centerfield scored the pair.
  • Doersching was in scoring position after an infield single in the fourth and a passed ball. The Norse then went out in order, however, and stranded the first-baseman.
  • A pair of Furman runs came home in both the fourth and fifth innings. The fourth started with a leadoff solo-homer followed by another three-consecutive hits to score another run. With the bases loaded in the fifth, a single and a sacrifice fly sent home the next two.
  • The streak of two runs an inning continued for Furman. The Paladins had runners on the corners in the sixth and capitalized on a single through the middle. One runner scored on the hit and another made it home after a throwing error by Murray.

UP NEXT

  • The Norse head to Knoxville on Tuesday for a one-off game against the SEC's Tennessee Volunteers. The game will begin at 4:30 p.m. and can be watched on SEC Network+.
