SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara baseball rode a steady offense to a 7-2 win over Northwestern on Sunday afternoon to take three of four in the series.
The Broncos (4-4) scored in each of the third through seventh innings thanks to a patient approach at the plate and some wildness from the Wildcats (1-7) pitchers. Santa Clara drew seven walks and benefited from three hit-by-pitches as well.
Northwestern didn't struggle to get runners on but couldn't get anyone home and finished with 13 runners left on base. The Broncos left 12 on as well but found the big hit multiple times.
