'Cats Defeat Saint Louis in Midweek Play
4/19/2022 7:00:00 PM | Baseball
Evanston, IL - Northwestern's offense excelled in a mid-week match against the Saint Louis Billikens, in a 8-5 victory on Tuesday afternoon.
In the fourth inning, junior Stephen Hrustich hit a three-run homer to left field to help put the game away.
Northwestern's offensive attack began in the second inning with an RBI single from sophomore infielder Tony Livermore to give the 'Cats an early 2-0 lead. First-year outfielder Andrew Pinkston continued to pile on, picking up two RBIs on a SAC bunt squeeze play in the next inning to extend the lead.
The Wildcats took advantage of the Billikens' pitching woes, reaching on walks six times throughout the game. During the third inning, senior infielder Anthony Calarco scored on a balk to put the 'Cats up by three, which was set up by a Ruben Fontes double to right field.
Senior left-handed pitcher Parker Hanks improved to 2-0 on the year after a scoreless relief appearance. Sophomore Jay Beshears gets credited with a save.
This weekend, Northwestern baseball returns to action with a three-game home series against Michigan State. Game one of the series is scheduled for Friday at 3:30 PM CST.
