While his defense is much-impoved from last year, Chris Lashmet committed his 10th error of the season against Ohio State. In total, NU made four miscues Sunday. (Mackenzie McCluer/The Daily Northwestern)

After Northwestern’s series opener against Ohio State, coach Paul Stevens looked over his shoulder to the scoreboard in right-center field at Rocky Miller Park. The next day he did the same thing, both days pointing out an identical neon-lit number in the column marked “E.” That number was “0.”

“E” stands for “errors,” and “0” meant the Wildcats didn’t make any through their first two games against the Buckeyes. Before its series against Ohio State, NU committed errors in all but one game, when it beat Loyola Marymount 3-0 over a month ago.
