The Nebraska Wesleyan baseball team committed six errors in the second half of a doubleheader as Buena Vista prevented the sweep with a 9-6 victory in the nightcap of a NCAA III baseball doubleheader on Friday night at Sherman Field in Lincoln. NWU won the first game, 8-5.

In the victory, NWU had to overcome a 4-1 deficit by scoring three runs in the bottom of the third inning. The Prairie Wolves then exploded for four runs in the bottom half of the sixth to earn the victory.

Six different Prairie Wolves had one hit in the game. Josh Ostrom had a two-run double and Max Hubka drove in two with a single in the sixth inning to highlight the NWU offense.

Andrew Gatzemeyer picked up the victory in relief, and Cory Hilgenkamp recorded his first save of the season with a perfect 7th inning.

BVU jumped out to a 4-0 lead in game two, but NWU rallied back. The Prairie Wolves scored five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to tie the game at 5-5, but the Beavers answered with four runs in the top of the fifth to seal the win.

Chris Wahl took the loss on the mound for NWU, allowing nine runs, but only three earned in 5.0 innings pitched. He struck out six and walked just one, but was hurt by the six errors.

Andy McGowan led the NWU offense going 2-4 with three RBI.

The Prairie Wolves host Bethany College from Kansas on Sunday afternoon in a doubleheader beginning at 1 pm at Nebraska Wesleyan Field.
