Spring Break Baseball: Northeastern

Over spring break Bowling Green baseball will play seven games in eight days. They started off this week by playing Northeastern University this past Saturday, and finally broke through with the first win of the season.

3/6/10

Bowling Green: 13

Northeastern: 9

I don't have a box score yet as neither BG or NU have posted it yet, but I'll post it asap.

Quick Recap: The game was a back and forth battle and BG ace Brennan Smith was roughed up a bit but seniors Logan Meisler and T.J. Blanton had huge games and had key hits that allowed Smith to escape with a win. Seven of the eleven Falcons that played crossed the plate in the win, with Meisler scoring four times himself.

Verdict?

Monkey is off the back for the Falcons, as they win the first game of their seven game Florida road trip. Pitching and defense was a little shaky, but hey, a win is a win. The offense stepped up and hit well all game long. No matter what, this can be nothing but a positive step for BG, and hopefully they can carry it into the next few games.
