COON RAPIDS, Minn. - Northland College (10-9, 4-3 UMAC) got dominating pitching performances as they swept their UMAC double header against North Central University by scores of 6-0 and 15-2 on Saturday afternoon. 

The Jacks started out fast and didn't look back on their way to sweeping North Central.  The Jacks started out game one with a Peter Aerts double, which followed with Nathan Brown being hit by a pitch.  Travis Hendrickson then kept up his streaky hitting with a single to score Aerts.  The Jacks wouldn't be done as Matt Lennon would later hit a sacrifice fly to score Brown and give the Jacks the 2-0 advantage.
 
The Jacks bats were silenced but only for a couple of innings.  The Jacks would manage to bring a consistent offense to the plate as they would score single runs in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings.  An insurance run was added in the eighth inning, and the final score would read 6-0.
 
Kyle Strom (1-2) was stellar on the mound for Northland getting the complete game shutout only allowing six hits, and striking out eight, while not walking any batters.
 
Travis Hendrickson went 2x3 with three runs batted in for the Jacks, while Matt Lennon would go 2x2 with a run batted in.
