May 14, 1999 — Scott Gauweiler and Ken Ralston both hit home runs and Marcus Ward excels on the mound to lead Northwestern to a convincing 16-1 Colonial League victory over Catasauqua. The win is the Tigers’ fifth in a row to raise their record to 10-10 and clinch a district playoff berth. Gauweiler, who ends with four hits and four runs, connects for a two-run homer in the fourth inning. Ralston, who ends with three hits, drills a three-run blast in the second frame. Ward allows just three hits in five innings and strikes out nine. Ward and Hagen Leverence both chip in with a pair of hits.
