(ST. NORBERT COMMUNICATIONS) AUBURNDALE, Fla. – St. Norbert College continued a successful start to the annual Florida trip, moving its win streak to four games with a sweep of Framingham State with scores of 15-0 and 8-5 at Lake Myrtle.
The Green Knights (4-5) scored 15 runs off 14 hits in the first game of the doubleheader, with eight of the runs coming in the third inning.
The first two St. Norbert runs were scored with the bases loaded, with Jake Lucas coming home on a walk and A.J. Kisting scoring on a balk. Singles from Will DeBruin and Dawson Schmidt each scored one run, while another walk with the bases loaded put St. Norbert up 6-0. A two RBI single from Kisting scored Carson Krumrei and Matt Perry, putting an exclamation point on the inning.
The Green Knights had another stellar inning in the fourth as five more runs were scored. Two RBI singles from Perry and Devin Geary and a third RBI from Kisting put the Green Knights up 13-0. St. Norbert added two more runs in the sixth to take a 15-0 win.

Jace Midbon (pictured) earned the win with a complete seven-inning game, allowing just five hits with 13 strikeouts and no walks. Midbon’s strikeouts are tied for fourth most in a game in program history.
After taking a 1-0 lead in the second game off an error by the Rams, Farmingham State responded with a four-run inning to take a 4-1 lead. The Green Knights retook a 5-4 lead in the third, scoring several runs with the bases loaded, including scoring on a wild pitch and another Rams error.
The Rams tied the game at 5-5 in the bottom of the third, but the Green Knights took the lead back for good when a DeBruin double down the left field line scored Trevor Reinhardt. A Kisting solo home run in the seventh gave St. Norbert an insurance run to take the sweep over the Rams.
