NIU Baseball
Governors Challenge (Clarksville, Tennessee)
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - NIU baseball (3-0) completed its first opening weekend sweep for the program since 2001 on Sunday, rallying back from a 3-0 deficit to defeat South Dakota State, 9-6. The Huskies recorded a weekend best 15 hits in the game.
Jason Gasser and Nate Ruzich 3 finished the game with three RBI as Gasser hit a three-run double and Ruzich hit a game-tying home run in the fourth inning. Johnny Zubek drove home two runs in the game.
Freshman Kevin Jones picked up the victory in relief, tossing 1.2 innings. Making his first career appearance, the freshman struck out two and allowed only one hit.
"It was a tremendous job by our entire team this weekend. We battled in some very tough conditions today but our guys never gave up. You have to learn how to win tight games and play from behind and we did both today," said Head Coach Mike Kunigonis.
Micah McCulloch of Rochelle went 1-2 at the plate with a double and 2 runs scored. McCulloch leads the team with a .615 on base percentage in the 1st 3 games. This includes a 2-run
