The Wildcats were poised for a Big Ten series win before a Jacob Bosiokovic walk-off 2-run home run.
Northwestern baseball — after starting the season with back-to-back wins against the Nevada Wolf Pack — finished nonconference play with just 3 wins in its final 19 games against non-Big Ten foes.
So Spencer Allen's team was surely happy to open up its conference slate this past weekend in Columbus against Ohio State with a win, as the Wildcats snapped their six-game losing streak against the Buckeyes on Friday night with a 6-5 victory on Nick Swisher Field at Bill Davis Stadium.
