By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Pat Muth went 4-for-6 with five RBIs as the Northern Kentucky University baseball team steamrolled Cincinnati-Clermont, 17-7. UC Clermont (11-8) got on board early, scoring four runs off of NKU starter Andy Karpowicz, but the Norse recovered, scoring in seven of the game’s eight innings. All nine NKU starters recorded at least one hit, with nine of the 20 Norse hits going for extra bases. Evan McDole paced the power game, going 3-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs. Muth added a three-run bomb of his own, while another three-run shot by Kevin Dusold capped a 3-for-5 performance. Jay Hale (1-1) struck out two batters and gave up an unearned run in the fourth inning to take the win as NKU manager Todd Asalon employed eight different pitchers in the victory. NKU (23-17) returns to Great Lakes Valley Conference competition on Saturday, hosting Lewis for a four-game weekend series. First pitch is scheduled for noon. |
