NKU Uses Long Ball to Down Xavier

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - Xavier's midweek matchup with Northern Kentucky didn't go as planned as they saw six balls leave the yard in the hitter-friendly Bill Aker Baseball Complex. The Norse used 6-run innings in the first and seventh to take the victory by a score of 16-6.

The Musketeers didn't waste anytime getting on the scoreboard, as Jerry Huntzinger doubled on the first pitch of the game, and after he stole third, Franzoni promptly drove him in. However, that woke up the NKU offense as the piled on 10 unanswered runs with the help of six home runs.
