BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – The Purdue University Northwest baseball team lost to Olivet Nazarene University in a pair of Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference contests Saturday afternoon.

 

Game 1: ONU 5, PNW 0

The Black and Gold capitalized on a pair of miscues from the Tigers, after a balk led to Cody Moskovsky scoring the first run of the game in the top of the second.

 

Tyler Kenjic (Hobart, Ind./Hobart) would score in the top of the sixth inning thanks to an error from ONU, which gave the Pride a 2-0 advantage.
