Baseball went head to head with two of the top teams in college baseball over spring break but was unable to record a win in seven games.

The Huskies (1-15-1) were swept by No. 5 Oregon State in a four-game series in Corvallis, Ore., March 7 to 9.

The Beavers (17-3) shut out the Huskies in three of four games and only allowed them to score two runs total in the four-game series, which they scored in a 12-2 loss in game three. The Huskies were outscored 30-2 total in the four games.

The Beavers’ pitching staff had their way with the Huskies’ batters all weekend as they only gave up 10 hits. In game one of the doubleheader on March 8, Oregon State pitcher Jace Fry tossed a complete game no-hitter while striking out 10 batters, in a 2-0 victory.

“Alex [Klonowski] was great on the mound today. Our defense was good. We just needed to put the bat on the ball in the first game,” Coach Ed Mathey said, according to a news release. “I tip my cap to Oregon State’s pitcher because he was spectacular.”

The Huskies put up a battle against No. 11 Cal Poly (16-3) in a three-game series Tuesday through Thursday in San Luis Obispo, Calif.

NIU fell 4-2 in game one, was blown out 10-1 in game two on Wednesday and came up short again in game three, 11-9.

The Huskies had their chances in game one but failed to take advantage of their opportunities, leaving eight runners on base.

“That eighth inning, I thought we had a chance to do some things, put some runs up on the board,” Mathey said, according to a news release. “[We had] runners at the corners and Tommy Hook at bat, but just fell short.”

The Huskies fell behind early in game two, giving up nine runs in the first three innings, and they were never able to get back in the game. Starting pitcher Jordan Ruckman lasted just 2.2 innings while giving up nine runs — six of them earned — on eight hits and five walks.

In game three, the Huskies got their bats out in a big way, recording 17 hits. Infielders Justin Fletcher and Brian Sisler had big days at the plate, each going three for five. Klonowksi and outfielder Landon Tenhagen each came up with timely hits, earning two RBIs each.

“We did a lot of good things tonight that normally win you ball games,” Mathey said, according to a news release. “Our hitters deserve some credit tonight; they showed what we are capable of at the plate. I hate to complain with the effort they had, but we left a few too many runners on, and that’s something we need to improve upon.”

The Huskies were set to close their spring break with a three-game series against Bradley in Peoria, , but the weather conditions suspended play in the seventh inning of game one of the doubleheader Saturday.

At that point, the Huskies trailed the Braves, 5-1. The game will be resumed April 17, with the Huskies at the plate in the top of the eighth inning.
