RiverHawks take game two from Bearcats in baseball, 8-3

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. – The Northwest Missouri State University baseball team suffered an 8-3 loss to the Northeastern State University RiverHawks Sunday at Rousey Field.
 
Senior Ryan Koski put the Bearcats on top 2-0 in the first inning when he punished a ball over the right-field wall for a two-run blast. Cole Slibowski led off the game with a single, which extended his streak of consecutive games reached to 17 in a row.
 
The RiverHawks got a single run back in the bottom half of the first on three singles. NSU would draw even at 2-2 on a triple and a groundout in the bottom of the fifth.
 
Northwest took a 3-2 lead when Noah Bodenhausen popped up with the bases loaded, but Ryan Williams scored on the play.
 
NSU took a 5-3 advantage in the bottom of the sixth when the home squad benefitted from three runs on four hits – two singles and two doubles.
 
Bearcat starting pitcher Zach Wiese departed with one out in the fifth as the RiverHawks mounted a comeback. Wiese pitched 5 1/3 innings and struck out five. He gave up four runs (all earned) while he scattered six hits. Wiese did not walk a batter.
 
The RiverHawks took advantage of a double and a single in the seventh to move the lead to 6-3. NSU tacked on a two-run home run from Coby Tweten in the eighth to raise the margin to 8-3.
