The DeKalb baseball team lost to Yorkville, 6-4, on Monday.

Corey Nelson took the loss for the Barbs (10-10-1, 4-6 Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference). He gave up seven hits, struck out two and walked one in six innings.

Shaun Johnson was 2 for 3 with a double and Kevin Sullivan went 1 for 3 with two runs scored for the Barbs.

“We played hard,” DeKalb coach Jake Howells said. “Corey Nelson pitched and left some pitches up early. They’re really feisty and they continued to come after us all game. Every single time we made a defensive miscue they made us pay for it.”
