Box Score  |  Tickets

RICHMOND, Ky. – Charlie Ludwick drove in three, and Michael Goehrig and Will King had three hits each, as the Colonels beat Northern Kentucky, 6-2, on Tuesday at Earle Combs Stadium.
 
EKU (14-8) scored two in the bottom of the first and never trailed.  With two on, King singled to center to plate Max Williams.  A Charlie Ludwick ground out was enough to bring home Logan Thomason.
 
The Norse got one back in the second on an RBI single from Brandon Tucker.  Williams drove in a run with a ground out for Eastern Kentucky in the bottom of the fourth to make it a 3-1 game.
 
EKU starter Isaac Milburn (1-1) earned his first collegiate win.  The freshman scattered five hits over five innings, allowed one run, walked two and struck out five.
 
Leading 4-2 in the bottom of the seventh, Ludwick drove in his third run of the game on a fielder's choice.  He scored later in the inning on Goehrig's third hit of the game, a single to right to make it 6-2.
 
Ludwick finished 1-for-3 with a run and three driven in.  Goehrig went 3-for-4 with an RBI.  King had a 3-for-3 day with a run and an RBI.  Thomason walked twice and scored two runs.  Bryce Travis pitched a perfect ninth inning with two strikeouts.
 
Tucker was 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI for Northern Kentucky (6-12).
