They wound up on the wrong side of a tough 22-3 walloping at the hands of the Northwestern Wildcats.

At the plate, Weaver went 4-for-5 with seven RBI, two triples, and two runs, while Medina scored four runs and stole three bases while going 4-for-4.
In other batting news, James Klopp was incredible, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with a home run, three stolen bases, and three runs. Another player making a difference was Lino Romero, who scored three runs while going 2-for-3.
Bladensburg's loss dropped their record down to 0-2.
