MEQUON - St. Norbert College picked up a midweek road win with a 4-1 triumph over Concordia University Wisconsin in a non-conference game at Kapco Park.

The Green Knights (16-16) got the early jump with a three-run second inning. Griffin Jack opened the inning with a double, followed by a Keagan McCarthy single to place runners at the corners. Michael Larsen then hit a single to drive in Jack. Following a passed ball, Connor Yakel drew a walk. Andy Peterik singled to drive in McCarthy, while Sean Ferraro's sacrifice fly brought home Larsen for a 3-0 edge.

St. Norbert added a run aided by two Concordia errors in the third inning. Larsen's fielder's choice grounder brought home Jack.

Concordia scratched across its only run when it drew four bases on balls. The Falcons were set down in order in the eighth inning and got a couple runners on against closer Ben Kohl, but didn't seriously threaten.

Devon Silver earned his first win, allowing five hits and one run in 6 2/3 innings pitched. Trevor Ramthun retired all four batters he faced, while Kohl registered a pair of strikeouts in the ninth for his third save of the season. The trio held the Falcons to six hits.

Jack was 2-for-3 with two runs scored, while Kohl was 2-for-5. St. Norbert finished with eight hits.
