Northwest (2318, 18-9 MIAA) got six and two thirds from starter Joseph Hietpas as he struck out seven. Hudson Bilodeau had three hits, while Luke Hassman and Kevin Handzlik had two hits each.
The Bearcats scored four in the first as a single and two bunts, one reaching on an error led to a run, while a double from Hassman scored another. Two more runs scored in the inning.
Southern got a run in the second on an RBI ground out from Stevens. The Lions then scored two more times in the fourth on a single from Phillips, scoring Balsamo and Stevens.
The two teams will be back in action tomorrow with a double-header beginning at noon from Warren Turner Field.
