WAYNE TAKES TWO FROM WOLVES AT HOWLING FOSSUM FIELD

April 6, 2002

Lyke strikes - Senior pitcher Andrew Lyke delivers Saturday against Wayne State (Neb.), while sophomore Kyle Weiger readies for the play.

Playing in a constant dirt fog caused by 35 mph winds howling through unsheltered Fossum Field in Aberdeen, Wayne State (Neb.) posted 6-0 and 6-3 wins over Northern Saturday in a Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference doubleheader.

Senior pitcher Andrew Lyke (Lakeville, Minn.) gave up three runs in the first game, but the Wolves were also plagued with three errors. Senior pitcher Ryan Albrecht (Aberdeen) took the loss in the second game.

At the plate, senior shortstop Eric Borge (Mellette) led the way for NSU, going 4-for-6 on the day including a double. Wayne improved to 15-12 overall and 5-1 in the NSIC with the wins.

Northern (5-16, 0-6 NSIC) will try to avenge Saturday's setbacks with another doubleheader against Wayne State Sunday.
