EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern baseball makes its way back to Wrigley Field for the fourth straight season, hosting Indiana at the Friendly Confines on Friday, May 1 at 7 p.m. CT. Tickets for the game are available at cubs.com/northwesternbaseball and Wrigley Field gates will open approximately two hours after the conclusion of the Chicago Cubs game.

Last season, the Wildcats cruised to a 12-2 run-rule victory over Ohio State at Wrigley Field, behind a complete game from RHP Sam Hliboki.

The 'Cats have also played lacrosse and football at the iconic ballpark, with Northwestern football defeating Minnesota in a thrilling 38-35 victory last November.

The Wildcats will close out the three-game series with a pair of games at Rocky and Berenice Miller Park on Saturday, May 2 at 2 p.m. CT and Sunday, May 3 at 1 p.m. CT in Evanston.
