EVANSTON, Ill. – Despite blasting two home runs, Northwestern fell to Rutgers 8-4 at Rocky and Berenice Miller Park today. The 'Cats drop to 11-9 on the season.

Tyler Uberstine got the start for the 'Cats, tossing five strong innings. Uberstine allowed five runs, three of them earned, eight hits, one walk and struck out eight batters.
 
Rutgers opened the scoring in the first inning with back-to-back two-out doubles to grab a 1-0 lead.
 
Goosenberg answered immediately with a two-run bomb, his third in the past two games, to give the 'Cats a 2-1 lead.
 
After Rutgers tied the game in the top of the second, Leo Kaplan put Northwestern back in front with a two-run homer, his second of the season.
 
Rutgers jumped back in front 4-2 in the next inning, then added another run in the fourth.
 
A three-run seventh inning from the Scarlet Knights extended their lead to 8-4 and all but wrapped up the contest.
