Coe Completes Conference Sweep of NWU on Cold Sunday

LINCOLN, Neb. – Playing in cold and rainy conditions, Coe College completed their conference opening series sweep over Nebraska Wesleyan by taking two games over the Prairie Wolves on Sunday afternoon (March 25) at NWU Field in Lincoln.  The Kohawks won game one 5-4, then shutout the Prairie Wolves 11-0 in the second game.
 
After postponing Saturday's game due to the rain, the two teams didn't have a much better day to play on Sunday.  The start time was pushed back just a half hour but the temperature at first pitch was only 37 degrees with rain falling off and on during the opener.
 
Just like the opener on Friday, the Prairie Wolves had a chance to win the game in the bottom of the 9th inning with the tying run in scoring position.  Trailing 5-3 headed to the 9th inning, Spencer Scheer hit a solo home run to cut the Coe lead in half.
 
With two outs, Derek Kolbush drew a walk followed by Kyle Hunter getting hit by a pitch putting two runners on base.  Tyler Winterstein came to the plate and lined the ball to centerfield, but it was right at the outfielder to end the game.
 
Coe built up an early 2-0 lead scoring two runs in the top of the 4th inning on a double by Jacob Burns.  NWU tied the game at 2-2 in the 6th inning when Winterstein drove in two runs on a double.
 
The Prairie Wolves took their first lead of the weekend in the 7th inning as Kolbush singled to centerfield driving in Justus Stocks.  Back-to-back doubles by Coe in the 8th inning put the Kohawks back ahead as they plated three runs.
 
NWU out hit Coe 9-7 in the opening game, but came up just short in their second straight one-run loss.  Spencer Scheer led the way going 3-5 with an RBI and two runs scored.  Owen Gubbels also had two hits on the day.  Brody Murphy started on the mound going the first four innings allowing two runs on two hits.  Riley Ward took the loss pitching 3 1/3 innings allowing three earned runs.
 
In the second game, Coe led 4-0 after three innings then broke the game open with seven runs in the 7th inning to end the game due to the run rule.
 
NWU managed just three hits in the game and committed four total errors.  Four of the Kohawks runs in the 7th inning were unearned.
 
Nebraska Wesleyan moves to 4-10 overall and 0-3 in IIAC play after the opening weekend of conference play.  Coe is now 8-6 and 3-0.
