The Raiders put two runs up in the fifth after Concordia retired the first two batters. Charli Bomgaars drew a walk before coming around to score on Gwen Mikkelsen's single and a defensive error. In the next plate appearance, Kameryn Etherington drove a base hit to right to help herself in the circle with a 2-0 lead.

Etherington allowed just one hit the rest of the game as Northwestern picked up the home win.

How It Happened
It was another shutout for the Raider pitching staff, as Northwestern won its 30th game of the season.

The Raiders were methodical on offense, scoring a run in the first three innings to grab a 3-0 lead. In the first, Gwen Mikkelsen got aboard with a leadoff double, coming around to score two plays later.

The second put another run across, with Ashtyn Billings putting down a perfect bunt to send Jori Hajek in from third. Next, Northwestern put another across in the third when Kameryn Etherington used the sacrifice fly to bring Mikkelsen in.

Continuing to add insurance runs, the Raiders added another run in the fifth on an error to secure the 4-0 win.

Game Notes: Up Next: The Raiders will meet Grand View on the road Tuesday in a nonconference doubleheader.
