LINCOLN, Neb. (April 2, 2021) - Nebraska Wesleyan baseball (4-12, 2-8 A-R-C) swept a doubleheader against Wartburg (6-10, 4-6 A-R-C) for its first back-to-back wins in conference play this year. NWU scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to win game one, 7-6, then blasted three home runs to win game two, 14-4, in eight innings.

Game One Recap
Nebraska Wesleyan's Kaleb Knox knocked in the game-winning run to win game one in walk-off fashion. Knox's fielder's choice drove in Derek Kolbush to cap a four-run seventh inning. The comeback started when Alex Angele scored off a wild pitch. Kolbush then hit a double, which plated Mason Bennett and Riley Ward, to tie the game up at 6-6. 

The Prairie Wolves scored the game's first run when a two-out error allowed Noah Unger to cross home. After the Knights put up a run in the third inning and four more in the top of the fifth inning, NWU cut the deficit with a run in the fifth and sixth. Will Schneidewind scored in the fifth off a Riley Ward single and John Haimowitz scored off a Knox grounder.

Noah Unger tallied another run in the inning with a single to score Derek Kolbush. Wartburg scored once in the second but NWU answered with an RBI groundout from Mason Bennett.
