NIU softball: Huskies hit three homers, break record for most home runs in a season

The Northern Illinois softball team bashed three home runs in its 12-4 win in six innings at Ball State on Wednesday to set a new program record for most team homers in a single-season.

The Huskies got home runs from Kali Kossakowski, Kayti Grable and Caitlyn Warren – giving them 46 on the season with 14 games left in the regular season. The previous record was 44 home runs, which the team set in 2015.

Northern Illinois (27-11 overall, 8-3 in MAC West) jumped out to a 7-1 lead after a four-run top of the second inning and the conference's best offense had another big day at the plate.
