FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Northern Kentucky Softball (24-27, 12-13 Horizon) took two from Purdue Fort Wayne (7-41, 6-19 Horizon) on the road Saturday afternoon winning game one 1-0 and game two at 6-1. 
 
GAME ONE: NKU 1 - PFW 0

  • NKU saw McKeough once again crush a ball well beyond the right field wall in the top of the fifth for a three-run homer to give the Norse a 3-1 lead.
  • Northern Kentucky continued to have hot bats in this inning as Pastin blasted a two-run home run to right field to extend the lead out to 5-1.
  • The Norse saw a third home run hit in the fifth as Maddie Lacer belted a solo shot to right field to cap the NKU scoring at 6-1. 
     
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • McKeough had a monster day going 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one run scored.
  • Maddie Lacer finished the day going 2-for-4 with one homer, one RBI and one run.
  • Pastin ended game two going 1-for-3 with one home run, two RBI and on run.
