After going 0-4 in last weekend's Snowbird Classic and getting blown out by UIC this past Tuesday, Northwestern baseball needed to get back on track during a four-game series with struggling but perennially strong San Diego State this past weekend.
The Wildcats (5-11) lost the opener on Thursday but split a doubleheader that began on Friday and was postponed/finished on Saturday. The fourth game of the series, originally scheduled for Saturday, was cancelled.
Walk-on Dan Kubiuk, who has been a major surprise for the Wildcats in his first college baseball season, got the start on Thursday and went 6 innings, allowing just 1 run and 5 hits with 2 strikeouts.
