MONMOUTH, Ore. – The Northwest Nazarene baseball team dropped one game Saturday and the second half of the doubleheader was suspended by rain against Western Oregon.

The Nighthawks lost 13-1 in the opener and led 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth in the second game when rain ruined everything.

The game was suspended and will be resumed at a time to be determined Monday. The teams already have a doubleheader scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. MDT on Monday.

"It was just a steady drizzle from the end of the first game on," NNU coach Joe Schaefer said. "We had a lot of confidence going into the second game and I thought we had a good shot. We had good at bats and Jesse was pitching well. It was kind of a bummer."

NNU starter Jesse Hilyard was cruising through three innings, scattering three hits while Bennett Tabaracci was 2-for-2 and Michael Hults had scored a run.

In the opener, NNU struggled on the mound and at the plate.

Kyle Redford hit a solo homer for NNU's lone run. Five pitchers, though, combined to give up 13 runs on 18 hits with six walks and just two strikeouts.

The Nighthawks (15-14 overall, 11-10 GNAC) managed just six hits, led by Redford's blast and a pair of singles by Rocco Ferrari.

"We just got clobbered in the first game," Schaefer said. "Their starter is good and they play well behind him. We didn't do anything right."

The teams already had weather disrupt their series, moving it from a traditional Friday-Saturday schedule to a Saturday-Monday affair.

The area is supposed to get heavy rain Sunday and if Monday's games can't be played, they will be canceled and not made up.
