The NIU Huskies and Buffalo Bulls entered the day trying to win the series rubber match but Buffalo needed the win a whole lot more than Northern Illinois. Unfortunately need never factors into a games result because NIU's bat's obliterated the Bulls this afternoon.
NIU scored four in the first, three in the second, three in the fourth, and one in the sixth to put the Bulls behind by eleven runs before Buffalo broke through in the top of the eighth inning.
Buffalo finally got moving when Bobby Sheppard and Brian Dudek started off the inning with back to back walks.
