@NKUNorseBSB downed by Oakland in high scoring affair

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky Baseball (17-33, 10-17 Horizon) was defeated by the Golden Grizzlies of Oakland (29-24, 18-10 Horizon) Friday afternoon from the Bill Aker Baseball Complex. 
 
KEY MOMENTS OF THE GAME
  • The Golden Grizzlies started game two like game one, with a home run, this time from Nigh who saw his three-run blast clear the center field wall.
  • The Norse got one back in the bottom of the first inning, taking advantage of mistakes by pitcher Densmore after a balk and a pick-off throwing error saw Treyvin Moss cross the plate. 
  • Oakland retaliated in the top of the second inning with four more runs, which included another home run to push their lead out to 7-1 overall. 
  • Northern Kentucky kept chipping away at the Oakland lead first with a Zack Minton RBI ground out and then a Manny Vorhees RBI single to center to put the score at 7-3.
  • NKU tied up the game at 7-7 in the bottom of the fourth, first with RBI hits from Moss and Vorhees. Noah Fisher then blasted a two-run homer to deep center field to put the score at 7-7 and give Northern Kentucky all the momentum. 
  • Oakland however was not going away, taking an 8-7 lead in the top of the fifth with an RBI single. The Golden Grizzlies followed up with a five run sixth inning to extend their lead out to 13-7 as well.
  • NKU was not going down without a fight however, as Minton ripped a double off the left field wall in the seventh inning to see both Ryan Glass and Moss cross the plate.
  • Fisher once again provided a big bat in the bottom of the eighth, with his second homer of the day to put the score at just 13-12. 
  • The Golden Grizzlies added an insurance run in the top of the ninth and ultimately sealed the victory at 14-12 over NKU.
