FRANKLIN, Wisc. – The Northern Kentucky Baseball team (17-25, 14-19 Horizon League) earned its second-straight win over Milwaukee (17-28, 14-20 Horizon League), 5-1, on Saturday afternoon at Franklin Field.

AT THE PLATE

• Sam Hedges went 2-for-4 with a walk with one of his base-hits being a double.
• Griffin Doersching had another great day in the series, finishing 1-for-2 with a two-run homer and three walks.
• Jackson Haas (1-for-2), Noah Fisher (1-for-3, RBI) and Treyvin Moss (1-for-5, RBI) also had a hit apiece.

ON THE MOUND

• Kyle Klingenbeck was the only Norse on the mound in the game, going all nine innings and registering his third complete game. He gave up one run, seven hits and no walks, while punching out a career-high eight batters.

KEY MOMENTS

• After three scoreless innings by either side, Milwaukee sent a solo shot to center for the first run of the afternoon.
• Haas singled and Fisher worked an 0-2 count all the way to a walk in the sixth to put one in scoring position. Moss followed with a blooper to left to score NKU's first run.

• To load the bases, Doersching, Bacon and Wakeham all walked in the top of the ninth. Marion struck out for what would be the final out of the inning, but a wild pitch allowed him to reach safely and score Doersching, giving NKU another run of insurance.
