WICHITA, Kan. -- Northwestern Oklahoma State baseball took the road to Wichita, Kan. to take on the Newman Jets in a midweek game and came up short in a 13-5 contest.

At the Plate
  • Northwestern had a big day at the plate, collecting 13 hits, but the Rangers were only able to cross the plate five times in the game.
  • Five different Rangers had multiple hits, with Greg Carrington going perfect from the plate at 2-for-2, followed by Thomas Bess who was 2-3 on the day.
  • Cooper Stanley (2-4), Xyruse Martinez (2-4) and Jacob Long (2-5) also all had two multiple hits in the game.
The K Zone
  • Starting on the mound for the visitors was senior Jason Barlett who held the Jets scoreless through two innings before running tinto trouble in the third when things went south. The hosts were able to put seven runs on the board on five hits and one error, ultimately ending Barlett's day at two and two-thirds innings.
  • Zach Postoak came on for the final out and pitched through 2.1 innings.
  • Kyle Renbarger came in for an inning of work before handing the ball over to Trevor Rakers who pitched for one-third of an inning.
  • Finishing out the game was Brody Ausfahl who threw for 1.2 innings.
     
Game Changer
  • Northwestern struck first in the game after a triple by Bess led to Long crossing the plate.
  • The third inning was where the most damage was done by the Jets who scored seven runs.
  • The Rangers were able to plate another run in the fifth inning, but the hosts scored two more of their own.
  • The seventh inning was a good one for the visitors, but it wouldn't be enough in the 13-5 game.
     
On Deck
  • Northwestern will host Ouachita Baptist over the weekend, beginning on Friday at 6 p.m. Saturday the two teams will play a double header to decide the series with the first pitch being thrown out at noon.
