WAYNE COMPLETES TWO-DAY, FOUR-GAME SWEEP OF WOLVES

April 7, 2002

Going home - Freshman outfielder Jason Scott rounds third on his way to scoring Sunday during the first game in Northern's doubleheader with Wayne State (Neb.).

Not much went right for the home team Sunday as Northern suffered 27-2 and 11-1 losses at the hands of Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference power Wayne State (Neb.).

In the first game, Wayne exploded for a 20-2 lead going into the seventh and final inning, then tacked on another seven runs with all but one player from its original lineup still in the game.

The Wolves (5-18, 0-8 NSIC) stayed competitive in the second game until the midway point, but were gradually overcome again by the Wildcats' bats.

Senior shortstop Eric Borge (Mellette, S.D.) led NSU at the plate, going 2-for-5 on the day. Sophomore pitcher Shawn Young (St. Paul, Minn.) and freshman hurler Joe Dinger (Aberdeen) took the losses on the mound for NSU. Wayne improved to 17-12 overall and 7-1 in the NSIC.

The Wolves will continue conference play Wednesday by hosting Southwest State at Fossum Field in Aberdeen.
