Baseball falls to Bellarmine

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Northern Kentucky University Norse baseball took on Bellarmine in a midweek matchup on Tuesday, coming off a Horizon League series victory at Oakland last weekend. The Norse led for seven innings, but the Knights tied it in the eighth and won the game on a walk-off in the ninth to send NKU home.

GAME SUMMARY
– Northern Kentucky started things off with a pair of singles from Jackson Wang and Mark Nowak, who were quickly brought home by Jake Paulick's home run, his sixth of the season. The Knights got a pair of runs back in the bottom half of the frame, and scoring held until the fourth. In the fourth inning, the Norse scored a pair on an RBI double from Ethan Thomas, before he made it a 6-2 game on a double steal. Again, the Knights got two back in the bottom half, making it 6-4. That score held until the bottom of the eighth, where a two-RBI single tied the game, and a late RBI single in the ninth saw the Knights walk off the Norse.
