Northwestern's first breakthrough came in the fifth inning when Kevin Rubio doubled and later scored on a wild pitch, making it 6-1. MSU extended their lead in the sixth inning with a three-run rally, but a solo home run by Tyler Schroeder in the seventh inning added a second run for Northwestern, bringing the score to 9-2.
