Northwestern has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-10 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.5 runs over those games. As for Rootstown, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 12-6.

As of now, neither Northwestern nor the Rovers have any future games scheduled.
