Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 | Box Score 3 Concordia College (Minnesota) won all three games over Nebraska Wesleyan in a baseball triple header played on Sunday afternoon (March 23) at NWU Field in Lincoln.

The teams postponed a doubleheader from Saturday due to the cold playing conditions and got all three games in on Sunday.

Concordia won the games in scores of 9-1, 7-4, 12-8 to give NWU an 11-game losing streak.  The Prairie Wolves drop to 1-12 overall and have now lost seven straight home games.

The Cobbers starting pitcher Jackson Meland limited NWU to just four hits in the first game as Concordia earned the 9-1 victory.  Concordia scored four runs in the third and seventh innings to build up the big lead.  The lone NWU run came in the bottom of the second inning.

NWU fell behind 5-0 in the second game as the Cobbers scored in each of the first five innings, including three in the top of the third.  The Prairie Wolves got on the board in the bottom of the fourth as Colby McPike hit an RBI single and JJ Thaut had a sacrifice fly.  They added two more in the sixth inning as Chris Johnson scored on a wild pitch and Thaut had another sac fly, but that was all they could score in the 7-4 loss.

An 11-run inning in the top of the fourth was a big blow to the Prairie Wolves in game number three.  NWU jumped out to an early 3-0 lead as Pete Sitorius hit an RBI double in the first, then Sam Ayars hit an RBI double in the third for the big offensive hits.  Justin Van Dyke didn't allow a run through the first three innings with just two base runners but then was knocked out of the game in the fourth as the Cobbers pounded out 11 runs on 11 hits.

NWU would score five more runs and mounted a big comeback in the bottom of the seventh but it wasn't enough.  The Prairie Wolves got a 2-run single by Sitorius and Ayars scored on a ground out by Chris Johnson but the rally would end as NWU fell 12-8.

Four different NWU players had two hits in game two as Sitorius was 2-3 with three RBI, Jonson was 2-2 with two RBI, Ayars was 2-2 with an RBI and John Estudillo was 2-4. 

As a team the Prairie Wolves combined for 21 hits in the final two games of the tripleheader to bring their team batting average over .200 as NWU looks to break out of their hitting struggles.

NWU will next play at Peru State College on Thursday (Mar. 27) before opening GPAC play this weekend by hosting Dakota Wesleyan and Briar Cliff in conference doubleheaders.
