Northwestern picked up its 18th and 19th wins of the season Saturday, going 2-0 at the Hoosier Classic including a win over No. 19 Indiana.
The Wildcats (19-6) pummeled lowly Toledo (8-14), 11-2 in the first game, powered by senior Morgan Nelson, who went 2-for-5 at the plate for four RBI and two walks. First-year Nikki Cuchran was not far behind as she blasted a three-run shot for her second of the season.
Senior Kaley Winegarner earned her first win of the season by pitching five innings of three-hit ball, striking out eight along the way.
It took a few innings for Northwestern to get going, but Winegarner kept the game scoreless until the third inning when Cuchran launched her home run.
