Baseball wins fifth straight behind eight run second inning at Ohio

ATHENS, Ohio — Northern Kentucky baseball has now won five straight games, as the Norse wrapped up a four-game road trip in dominant fashion by run ruling Ohio. 

A massive second inning gave NKU an early lead, and the Norse took advantage of that to pick up a season sweep of the Bobcats.

  • In the second, the Norse plated eight runs. Logen Devenport started the scoring with a two run homer before Marcus Harrison singled home another. Sam Bond then singled to score a fourth run, before Brennan Rowe plated two more. Mark Nowak reached on an error to score another, then raced home after stealing a base on a Tyler Shaneyfelt RBI single. 
  • Gabe Miranda launched a solo homer in the fifth, and then singled home another run in the seventh. Sam Bond drew a bases loaded walk later in the inning to give NKU a 13-3 lead it would hold until the finish.
