How It Happened
The Red Raiders scored four of the first five runs, but an eighth-inning rally allowed Rochester to take down the Raiders in a nine-inning contest.

Ranier Castillo put his team on the board early, hitting an RBI single to make the score 1-0 in the second. After an RBI groundout gave the Raiders a 2-0 lead, scoring plays remained elusive until the sixth.

Leading 3-1 in the seventh, Northwestern plated one more as Devin Dirkx hit a sacrifice fly to right, bringing in the Raiders' fourth run of the game.

The eighth inning was kind to the Warriors, who took the lead by driving in six runs on four hits and an error to take the lead.
Northwestern put runners on bases in the bottom of the eighth, even sending a runner home on a single from Brody Ayers, the Raiders stranded four runners in the final two innings as they fell to 6-8 on the young season.

Game Notes:
Up Next: The Raiders will have the day off tomorrow before battling Indiana University South Bend on Friday.
