Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 WESSON – Playing a rare Sunday matinee at Copiah-Lincoln, Northwest picked up its second straight road sweep thanks to timely hitting and pitching, defeating the Wolfpack by 6-4 and 5-3 finals (8 inn.).

Winners in 6 of 8, Northwest improved to 17-11 while Co-Lin dropped to 9-19. 

Trailing 3-0 after two innings in the opener, Northwest broke through with a five-run third inning. Luke Latham and James Lear were both hit by pitches to start the frame and both came around to score on RBIs by Tanner Densford and Jay King. Kramer Hollenbach added the game-tying RBI-single before Chase Clark's two-run home run capped the big inning. 

Co-Lin added a single run in the fifth to pull within 5-4 before J. King's RBI-single in the sixth pushed the final tally to 6-4 in favor of the Rangers.

Densford tossed four innings of relief ball to earn his first win of the year, scattering two hits, a run and six strikeouts, while Tyler Scholl earned his first save of the year and sixth of his career in a scoreless seventh. 

Co-Lin jumped out in front again in Game 2, as Adrian Brown walked, stole second, advanced to third on a groundout and then scored off a passed ball to make it 1-0.

Tucker Smith's two-out double to left in the second knotted it at 1-1, scoring Taylor King after a hit-by-pitch, before Northwest went up 2-1 in the third when Lear scored on a passed ball.

The score stayed 2-1 into the seventh, as the Ranger defense turned three double plays and stranded eight Wolfpack hitters, including the bases loaded in the fifth.

Northwest took a 3-1 lead on three consecutive walks, two intentional, and Stephen Sexton drew a bases-loaded RBI that scored J. King. 

Co-Lin, as they have all season, rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh, using a sac fly and run-scoring single to knot it at 3-3 and force extras.

In the extra frame, J. King's RBI-single scored Stuart Chick after a two-out walk and T. King added a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch to give the Rangers a 5-3 cushion. Hollenbach also singled in the inning, extending his reached base streak to 24 games. 

Colin Liles then shut the door for his first win in the eighth, allowing one single before back-to-back strikeouts looking to Matt Evans and Adrian Brown. Peter Barton threw 4.1 innings in a no-decision and allowed an unearned run and six hits. 

Northwest will travel to Fulton on Tuesday, April 1 for a 3 p.m. doubleheader versus Itawamba. Links to live stats, audio and video are available on our schedule page.
