Nick Albrecht allowed just one hit Monday, a one-out single to Travis Seaberg, as the Viterbo University baseball team defeated Iowa Wesleyan 13-1 in a Midwest Collegiate Conference game played at the Viterbo Outdoor Athletic Complex.

Albrecht struck out seven and walked five en route to earning the complete-game victory for the V-Hawks (23-8, 12-3).

Viterbo took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning. J.P. Cloutier had an RBI single, Nick Lenzendorf’s sacrifice fly drove in Kyle Dreger, and Drew Roberts scored on an error.

The V-Hawks took a 9-1 lead by scoring three runs in the fifth.

Cloutier and Lenzendorf, a Prairie du Chien High School graduate, each drove in three runs for Viterbo. Cloutier, Roberts and Howard Heinrich each scored three runs.
