The Northeastern baseball team hosted Muncie Central in a nonconference game on Thursday, April 9. The game was never in doubt.
The Knights took a 5-0 lead in the first inning and expanded it to 10-0 before the game was halted after five innings because of the 10-run mercy rule. Gavin Johnson and Max McClain combined to hold the Bearcats to a single hit.
Johnson, Kaleb Kress, Jarrett Leitner and McClain each collected two hits for the winners.
Muncie Central (2-3) 0 0 0 0 0 0
