OMAHA, Neb. - Northern Colorado put together a complete offensive performance and strong pitching effort to earn an 11–4 win over Omaha, piling up 14 hits and pulling away with timely hitting throughout the game.

At the plate, Northern Colorado wasted no time setting the tone. Brett Barber led the way at the top of the lineup, going 2-for-6 with two runs scored, while Jake Bullard matched him with two hits and added an RBI. Logan Pruski delivered one of the most efficient performances of the day, going 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, consistently keeping innings alive.

Easton Bryant drove in three runs on a 2-for-5 day, including a key extra-base hit, while Jaden Stone chipped in three RBIs of his own despite just one hit. Brandon Sanchez also contributed with two hits and two RBIs, helping the Bears build and maintain separation.

Northern Colorado's aggressive baserunning added pressure all game, with multiple stolen bases from Stone, Pruski, Ethan Mooser, and Sanchez, and hit-by-pitches that kept traffic on the bases.

On the mound, starter Reece Wagner battled through 5.2 innings to earn the win. He allowed four runs on seven hits while working around four walks, limiting damage enough to keep Northern Colorado in control. Trevor Landen shut the door in dominant fashion, tossing 3.1 scoreless innings without allowing a hit and striking out three to secure the victory.

ON DECK: Northern Colorado baseball gets set for game two of the series, aiming to secure the conference series with a victory over the Mavericks. First pitch is slated for 3 p.m. MDT.
