Zu’s contributions were two-fold. Offensively, his performance was a sight for sore Northwestern eyes. A breaking ball deposited in the left-field seats opened the scoring at 1-0 in the top of the 4th. Seattle’s issues w/RISP would rear their head again today, but seeing Zunino, Cruz, Seager, Healy, and Haniger all check in with XBHs in the past two games is a ray of diluted sunshine after the ghastly offense Seattle has subjected us to of late.
Zu would finish the night 3-for-5 with two of the hardest hits of the night.
