After being swept in their season-opening series at UAB, the Northwestern Wildcats remained on the road this past weekend, playing another four-game series against the Santa Clara Broncos.
By the end of the weekend, the ‘Cats had gone 1-3 against SCU, picking up their sole win of the series in the first leg of a doubleheader that took place on Saturday. Northwestern now sits at 1-7 on the 2022 season.
In the first game of the series, the Wildcats sent senior pitcher Mike Doherty to the mound to face off against SCU’s Cole Kitchen. Doherty led NU in innings pitched, ERA and WHIP last season, but struggled early on against the Broncos.
