Northwestern (0-2) broke open the scoring early on, connecting on a single up the middle to make the score 1-0 in the visitor's half of the first. The Devils (2-0) would respond an inning later when freshman Myles Denson cashed in sophomore Jeremy McCuin who muscled a two-out triple to left center field.
Northwestern led off the top of the third with a leadoff walk, at which point the game was delayed and the tarp was pulled. After approaching two hours of rain delay time, the game was officially postponed to Sunday.
