Luther tallied 12 runs on 10 hits defeating the University of Dubuque 12-0 this afternoon in Dubuque. This game was scheduled to be a nine inning contest but was called due to the 10-run rule. The victory allowed the Norse to win the three-game series 2-1.
Jeff Hiatt drove in five runs and Jake Waddle and Ben Schott drove in two runs each. Hiatt was 3-for-4 at the plate, while Schott was 2-for-4 and Waddle was 1-for-3. Alex Ross also had a big day with a 2-for-3 performance and scored three times.
Joe Nelson (3-2) went the distance on the mound, spreading five hits over seven innings. Nelson faced 26 batters, walked three and struck out three.
