EVANSTON, Ill. โ€“ Northwestern travels south this weekend for a three-game series at Saint Louis in Missouri.
ย 
First will feature a double-header, with first pitch in game one set for noon CT and game two to follow the conclusion of game one. Saturday's single game will begin at noon.
ย 
This past weekend, the 'Cats battled Louisiana Tech in Ruston, La. in a tight three-game series.
ย 
First-year Owen McElfatrick went 3-for-5 in game one, blasting his first-career home run in the eighth inning. Catcher Alex Calarco doubled as part of a 2-for-4 game.
ย 
The 'Cats took Louisiana Tech to extra innings on Saturday, but ultimately fell in the eleventh inning. Matt McClureย got the ball on Saturday and did not allow a hit through four innings. Nolan Morr tallied four strikeouts in 3.1 innings of one-run ball out of the bullpen. The 'Cats took a 4-0 lead in the fifth inning on a Cooper Foard double but could not hold on to the advantage.
ย 
Northwestern exploded for a six-run first inning on Sunday but eventually dropped the contest 14-9. Tony Livermore led NU with four hits. While McElfatrick, Stephen Hrustich, and Alex Calarco all tallied three hits. Cooper Foard continued his impressive weekend with two hits and two RBI.
ย 
After a slow start to his collegiate career, McElfatrick raised his average nearly .200 points thanks to a 6-for-13 weekend in Louisiana.
ย 
The 'Cats squared-off against Chicago rivals UIC on Tuesday for a mid-week matchup. Northwestern tallied five extra-base hits, including a home run off the bat of Griffin Arnone, but fell 10-6.
ย 
Saint Louis (8-3) leads the all-time series 6-4 against Northwestern, with the two programs last splitting a four-game series in 2011. After dropping their first three games, the Billikens have won eight-straight.
