OMAHA, Neb. (February 26, 2022) - The Nebraska Wesleyan baseball team swept its doubleheader with Westminster College at Westside High School in Omaha, Nebraska. NWU won game one, 9-2, then won in game two, 5-4 on a walk-off single from Noah Wing. 

Game One Recap
After surrendering a run in the first inning, the Prairie Wolves bounced back with a three-run first inning. Kaleb Knox drew a walk then Evan Kling got aboard when he was hit by a pitch. John Haimowitz cleared the bases with a triple to right-center field.

The next inning, Mason Bennett knocked a home run over the left-field fence to move NWU's lead to 4-1. In the third inning, Haimowitz hit a double then scored off of a single from Noah Unger. A Paul Georget bunt moved Unger over and put himself on base before Aaron Chazin drove in Unger with a single to the right-field gap. 

NWU added a pair of runs in the fourth inning to extend its lead to 8-1. Kaleb Knox hit a double then scored off a single from Kling. With the bases loaded, Mason Bennett sent a ball to left field, the sacrifice fly scored Kling. However, Westminster escaped the jam before any more damage could be done. 

Westminster added a run in the fifth inning but Nebraska Wesleyan countered with a run in the bottom of the sixth inning. An error by the Bluejays allowed Jason English to score from third.

Dylan Cox earned his first win as a Prairie Wolf behind a six-inning, four-strikeout effort. Cox allowed just two runs with a pair of walks in the win.

Game Two Recap
Westminster put up two runs in the first inning but Nebraska Wesleyan answered with a run in the bottom half of the inning. Riley Ward turned a deep sacrifice fly off of the bat of Evan Kling into the first Prairie Wolf run. 

The Prairie Wolves tied the game the next inning when Paul Georget scored off of a single from Mason Bennett. NWU took the lead with heads-up base running from Will Schneidewind. Schneidewind ran home after Kaleb Knox's fly out was caught deep in foul territory to make a 3-2 ballgame.

After the Bluejays tied the game in the top of the third inning, Nebraska Wesleyan regained the lead in the bottom of the fifth. A dropped fly ball allowed John Haimowitz to plate the go-ahead run, 4-3.
