NORSE NOTES  ///  HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Mastodons and Norse each began this series opener with a bang as a two-run homer from PFW saw the visitors jump on the board in the top of the first. Fisher helped even things up with a two-run blast of his own however to ignite the NKU offense.
  • Peyton Lane followed up in the bottom of the first inning with a two-run single to shortstop for the 4-2 lead. 
  • Northern Kentucky put this game away in the bottom of the fifth inning as an eight-run outburst gave NKU the 13-4 advantage and ultimately claimed the victory at 13-8. 
     
  • Fisher continues to be the anchor of this explosive NKU offensive attack, increasing his numbers today to 11 home runs on the year, 52 RBI, 45 runs and a batting average of .347 overall. Besides leading the Horizon League in RBI, Fisher also ranks 26th in the nation in the stat category as well. 
  • Kucera continues to stay hot on the year as well, finding any possible way to get on base as he's sporting a Horizon League leading .402 batting average along with leading the league in on base percentage at .519 overall.
