RedHawks Fall to Huskies in Series Finale

OXFORD, Ohio —  The Miami University baseball team had a five-run inning to get on the board and grab the lead in the fifth, but the visitors from DeKalb scored five unanswered, as the 'Hawks fell to the Northern Illinois Huskies at McKie Field, 10-7. With the loss, the RedHawks fall to 13-9 (6-2 MAC), while the Huskies improve to 5-14 (4-4 MAC). 

HOW IT HAPPENED: 

  • In the bottom of the third, freshman Dalton Back singled up the middle. Redshirt freshman Nate Stone followed up with a two-run homer to right field, cutting the Huskies lead in half.
  • In the bottom of the fifth, Stone led off the inning with a walk. Graduate student Will Vogelgesang reached on a hit by pitch, then junior Cole Andrews singled to the right, bringing home Stone. Senior Nate Stolze walked, loading the bases. Sophomore Billy Kopicki doubled to deep center field, clearing the bases and giving the RedHawks their first lead of the game.  Benji Brokemond tripled to right field, driving in Kopicki and giving Miami a two-run lead to close the inning out.
