EVANSTON, Ill. - The Northwestern baseball team fell for the third time in as many games, as Southwest Missouri State used a 12-hit afternoon to score eight unanswered runs. A four-run third inning proved to be too much for the `Cats to respond. Northwestern falls to 5-5 on the year while SW Missouri State improved to 3-2.
Freshman David Gresky and Dan Pohlman led the `Cats offense, as they had five of NU's seven hits. Gresky was 3-for-4 while Pohlman produced his first multi-hit game of the year, going 2-for-4. Senior Joe Hietpas hit safely in his third straight game, while sophomore Eric Roeder rounded out the Wildcat offense with one hit of his own.
On the mound, junior Gabe Ribas had to battle a strong wind, as he went five complete innings giving up five runs on seven hits while striking out three. He ran his strikeout total to 18 against one walk. Junior lefthander, Ryan Bos pitched the sixth and seventh innings, giving up two runs (none earned) on three hits, striking out two and walking two. Junior Andy Adams threw the final inning giving up one earned run and two hits. It was Adams' fourth appearance of the year on the hill.
