Quinn Nobles powered Asbury baseball (19-14) to a doubleheader sweep over IUPUC (10-37) on Wednesday in Columbus, In., clinching their 2024 postseason birth.
AU took game one, 12-6, and game two, 7-4, for their fourth and fifth wins in a row. The Eagles had 25 hits on the day and only two errors, outscoring IUPUC 19-10 overall.
"It was a productive midweek trip for the guys. We went on the road and took two games from an NAIA River States team extending our win streak to five games. Our lefties threw well on the bump and the offense put up lots of run support on the day. We're feeling good and looking to take our last series of the year on Senior Weekend!"
