The NCMC bats came to life in the doubleheader with 25 total hits.  Hagen McGarrah went 4-5 to improve his team leading batting average to a robust .375.  Landon Wells and Layne Rutherford each added 4 hits of their own.

 

On the mound, starter Kyle Stratman (2 IP, 2 K's) and reliever Jacob Rehkow (2 IP, 4 K's) set the tone in the opener.  NCMC had a comfortable 8-0 lead upon their departures.  Rehkow got the win and improved his season record to 1-1.
