GAME SUMMARY
– NKU took a three-nothing lead after two innings, before the Spartans came alive with a pair of homers in the third to take a 4-3 lead. Peter Krumins gave NKU back the lead in the fourth, with a bases-loaded double that drove in three runs. The Spartans got a pair back in the fourth on an HBP and a sac fly, before NKU took a 7-6 lead in the bottom half of the frame on an RBI groundout. The Norse put up two more in the sixth, as Jake Paulick hit a solo shot in the inning. The Spartans drew within one in the seventh, but Gabe Stout finished off the game with a two-and-a-third inning save, allowing zero runs while on the mound. Alex Brazer's grand slam in the eighth provided some comfort as the Norse took game one by a score of 14-8.
