EASTON - Northwestern coach Bob Fatzinger had to decide who would pitch for the Tigers on the way to the Colonial League quarterfinal game against Wilson on Monday,

Would it be Mason Vogwill, Niko Fager, or both?Fatzinger chose Vogwill, and the Tigers' righty surely didn't disappoint.Vogwill tossed a three-hitter and helped Northwestern secure a 4-1 win over Wilson, which earned the Tigers a spot in the league semifinals tonight at Parkland."Coming down here, we were like 'Should we throw him (Vogwill) and Niko (Fager) to save the pitch count?,'" Fatzinger said. "But, he ended up taking the ball the whole game and got the job done for us. When he was having his way with them, you just couldn't make that change. I had to let him go. It was his to win or lose, and he came out on top in the end."The Warriors shook Vogwill up a bit after his Tigers went down in order to open the game.Brandon Miller, the Warriors' starting pitcher, reached on an infield single, stole second base, and moved to third on a fielder's choice. With two outs, Vogwill let one slip away from him, and Miller scored on a wild pitch."I tried not to get tense or nervous," said Vogwill. "Once that happens, you're not going to throw strikes. As long as you stay relaxed, you can throw pretty well. All went well for me today."Vogwill was able to eventually relax, as the Tigers collectively stepped up throughout the rest of the game to help him forget about the pitch that got away.In the fourth inning, it was the Northwestern offense that made it easier for Vogwill to focus.Tyler Schreiner led off the frame with a double and moved to second on a Niko Fager bunt single. Trevor Schreiner immediately delivered an RBI single, which scored Tyler Schreiner and tied the game at one apiece.Next, Tyler Wiik singled to load the bases, which put pressure on Miller and the Warriors' defense.Before the inning was over, the Tigers proved that a walk is as good as a hit. Both Jake Haas and Deven Bollinger drew bases loaded walks, which brought home two runs, and put the Tigers up 3-1."As soon as we got the lead, it made me so much more comfortable out there," Vogwill said. "We were relaxed and focused. When you're relaxed, good things tend to happen. It was great to see (that) happening, so I stayed relaxed."The Tigers' big inning was enough to carry Vogwill through the final four frames, as just four more Warriors would reach base throughout the remainder of the contest.Trevor Schreiner gave his pitcher a little more breathing room in the seventh. He led off with a single, moved to second on a stolen base, and then moved to third on a Zach Stanley single. Schreiner then scored on an error, which put the Tigers up by three. Vogwill then recorded his sixth and seventh strikeouts to end the game in the bottom of the inning.WHO'S NEXT? ... Northwestern will square off with Southern Lehigh tonight at 7 p.m. in the Colonial League semifinals. "We can play with them," said Fatzinger, who saw his Tigers lose to Southern Lehigh twice (4-2, 3-2) in the regular season. "We will be ready for them. We will give them a game."SCHREINER CONVETION ...The brother combination of Tyler and Trevor Schreiner accounted for half of the Tigers' offense. Tyler had two doubles, a walk, and a run, while Trevor finished with two singles, two runs, and an RBI.NEVER GIVE UP ...After Austin Stresco mishandled a blooper to second, the Tigers' second baseman stayed with the ball. With the Warriors' Nate Fusco-Lomont trying to advance on the miscue, Stresco threw a perfect throw to the Tigers' shortstop Niko Fager at second base. Fusco-Lomont slid past the bag and Fager was able to tag him out.Northwestern 000 300 1 - 4 7 1Wilson 100 000 0 - 1 3 2Vogwill and Wiik; Miller, Harper (5) and Strehl. W - Vogwill. L - Miller.
