Week's Achievements:
Brandon Mallder found ways to produce runs for the NIU baseball team over the weekend as the Huskies opened MAC play with a series victory at Ohio. With runs at a premium in the series, Mallder scored the crucial runs in each of NIU’s victory. He scored what would be in the winning run in the fourth inning of a 2-0 victory on Friday and also tallied a key insurance run in the eighth inning of Sunday’s 3-1 victory. The versatile junior led the Huskies with a .333 batting average for the weekend with three hits and two walks, reaching base in 5-of-11 at-bats. He also had a perfect series in the field at multiple positions with 15 put-outs and three assists.
