[Baseball] Rio topples NCAA Division I Norse
Rio Grande Sports Information
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - After cruising to a weekend series sweep of Cincinnati Christian University, the University of Rio Grande baseball team found more success against a school from the greater Cincinnati area on Tuesday afternoon.
Only this time, the opposition was a team from the ranks of NCAA Division I.
The RedStorm coughed up an early four-run lead before rallying late to post an 8-5 victory over Northern Kentucky University at a sun-splashed Bill Aker Baseball Complex.
Rio Grande improved to 21-23 with the win - its second straight against an NCAA Division I foe. The last came against Ohio University nearly four years ago to the day - a 2-0 win on April 16, 2014 in Athens.
Northern Kentucky, a member of the Horizon League, dropped to 9-24 with the loss.
