The Wright State baseball team swept both ends of the doubleheader at Nischwitz Stadium on Saturday afternoon against Northern Kentucky, taking the first game of the day 8-1 before an 11-5 victory in the nightcap.
 
The Raiders (3-5, 3-0 Horizon) now look to complete the weekend sweep over Northern Kentucky (2-8, 0-3 HL) on Sunday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. from The Nisch.
 
Saturday's opening game saw a dominant pitching performance from Bradley Brehmer, who struck out the first five batters of the afternoon and seven of the first nine overall on the way to an 11-strikeout day.
 
Brehmer earned his first win of the season, tossing 6.2 innings and allowing just five hits and one walk, along with one run in the seventh, to go along with those 11 Ks.
 
Offensively, the Raiders wasted no time getting the scoring going, with Zane Harris' RBI single in the first getting the scoreboard in motion before Sammy Sass and Damon Dues each connected on solo homers in the second frame. Wright State added to the lead with three runs in the fifth, including an Alex Alders' RBI single and a bases loaded walk drawn by Gehrig Anglin.
 
Quincy Hamilton belted his second homer in as many days, this time a two-run shot, in the sixth, before Northern Kentucky pieced together a pair of doubles in the seventh for its lone run.
 
Konner Piotto was the only Raider with multiple hits, including a leadoff double to set the fifth inning up for success, while Wright State tallied seven hits overall and had RBI from six different players.
 
Treyvin Moss had two of the five NKU hits, while starter Kyle Klingenbeck took the loss after allowing six runs (five earned) in 4.2 innings.
 
The second game saw its share of scoring, with the Norse tallying two runs in the top of the first before the Raider bats responded, scoring seven runs over the first three innings and seven of the final eight runs of the night overall.
 
After tying the game in the first thanks to a NKU error, Wright State took its first lead in the second via an RBI triple from Dues and a double from Black that plated Dues. NKU again tied the game with a pair of runs in the top of the third, but it was all Raiders from there. A pair of run-scoring groundouts in the bottom of the third knotted things up again before Hamilton's RBI double gave Wright State a lead it would not let go of. The Raiders later capped the night's scoring with a two-run single from Justin McConnell.
 
Sam Wirsing tossed three innings of one-run relief to earn the win for the Raiders, while Bradley Deboutte tallied a three-inning save, the first of the season for Wright State. Offensively, the Raiders collected eight hits from eight different players, including three extra-base knocks, while McConnell tallied three RBI and Black drove home two of his own.
