The boys have got the ball rolling.
After starting the season 2-10, Northwestern Baseball won seven straight contests before dropping last weekend’s finale to Butler on a walk-off home run.
Beforehand, the ‘Cats were afforded an extra rest day after their March 23 game against Notre Dame was postponed. Then, on fresh legs, the team traveled down to Carbondale, Ill., on Friday to meet the Southern Illinois Salukis and the Butler Bulldogs in a four-game set.
In their first contest against SIU, the ‘Cats hitting came alive. They beat the Salukis with a score of 10-4, which included a season-high five home runs.
