Jay Beshears stayed hot with a three-RBI day against the Lakers, extending Northwestern's lead early with a two-run RBI double in the first inning and adding an RBI single in the sixth inning. The Naples, FL has gotten a hit in 13 of his last 14 games and is hitting .365 on the 2022 season.
Alex Calarco and Stephen Hrustich also drove home a pair of RBIs in the seven-inning win. Calarco drove an RBI single to right field in the bottom of the first, before scoring his brother Anthony Calarco on a groundout in the bottom of the third.
Hrustich hit a SAC fly to score Beshears in the bottom of the first, before ending the game with a home run to left field, nearly identical to the walk-off home run he crushed to beat Penn State on Sunday.
Jacob Scharm got the start for Northwestern, tossing three innings of one-run baseball and striking out two.
