By Tom Ramstetter, NKU Sports Information FLORENCE, Ky. - The Northern Kentucky University baseball team had another stunning offensive display, pounding out 19 hits en route to an 18-1 victory over the University of Cincinnati-Clermont on Tuesday. The Norse (13-13) scored early and often, plating four runs in the first, three in the third and seven in the fourth to cruise to a .500 record on the season. Every NKU starter collected at least one hit and scored at least one run. Pat Williams led the Norse with a 3-for-4 performance with three RBIs, while Brian DeCarlo, Aaron Mentz, Jon Back, Pat Muth and Brett Hoffman each had two-hit games. Ian Durbin was also 2-for-2 at the plate. Kevin Quick (1-2) pitched six innings, scattering four hits and striking out three to take his first win of the season. Cody Besselman struck out the side in the seventh to finish the job. The Norse head to the state capital tomorrow to face Kentucky State in a non-conference doubleheader. First pitch is scheduled for noon.
