The Cats, who won three of the four games, came up with eight hits but couldn't overcome NIU's 10-run fourth inning.

Maddox Miesse got ACU on the board in the first inning with a sacrifice fly after the Cats had fallen behind 2-0 in the top of the first.
Â
ACU added four runs in the fifth inning on an RBI single by Miller Ladusau, a sacrifice fly by DJ Van Atten and a two-run home run by Gino D'Alessio.
Â
Jack Nielsen tacked on an RBI ground out and Ranse Radtke drew a bases-loaded walk for ACU's final two runs in the ninth.

Ladusau and Aaron Staehely had two hits each for the Wildcats.
