Then, sophomore Matt Vance grounded softly to shortstop, but Arman Sidhu threw the ball away, allowing both runner to score and Vance to advance to second. A strikeout, a wild pitch, and a walk to Josh Klimkiewicz set up Wilson’s crowning blast. Jason Brown, after a leadoff infield single, retired the heart of the NU lineup in order...
