Roman made it 6-0 with his two run home run heading into the seventh inning. In the final inning, Northwood tacked on four more runs winning the game 10-0.
The Seahawks again struck first in game two, pushing three across taking a 3-0 lead in the third inning. Trinity Baptist scored their first run of day in the fourth but Northwood answered right back with three runs making it 6-1. Northwood scored another run in the sixth and two in the seventh going on for the 8-2 win.
"We played much better today, said Head Coach Jeremy Kennedy. We are slowly moving in the right direction and we pitched really well all weekend. We got three very good starts and some quality innings out of the bullpen as well. Â We are going to stick to the process and sooner or later we will get to where we need to be."
Northwood returns to the diamond on Tuesday when they travel to take on St. Thomas in non-conference play. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
