Softball splits games with Newman

WICHITA, Kan. – The RiverHawks suffered an uneven day in their first MIAA visit to Newman Saturday. Northeastern State capitalized on six errors by the Jets to blast past them 11-0 in the opener. In the nightcap, Jess Schuler homered twice, but NSU fell 4-3.

THE BASICS
Score: Northeastern State 11, Newman 0
Records: Northeastern State (14-7, 2-1 MIAA), Newman (6-16, 0-3 MIAA)
NSU Pitcher of Record: Gail Young (10-2)

HOW IT HAPPENED
Following a hit-by-pitch and a single, Sierra Crick hit a single through the left side to score Addie Elbon in from second

Hannah Ailey opened a four-run fourth for the RiverHawks with her first homer of the season. A double and error put two on for Megan Green, who hit an RBI single up the middle for their second run. The RiverHawks added a third off an error, and Alyssia Crick singled in Green to make it a 5-0 ballgame.

In the sixth, NSU plated two runs off a pair of Newman errors to go up by seven.  

The RiverHawks hung up another four runs in the seventh with the team batting through the order for four hits. A Green two-RBI triple highlighted the inning with the junior grabbing her fourth hit of the game.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

  • Green is the first NSU player to have a four-hit game this season and first shortstop since Alyssa Aguilar in 2014 to have four hits in a game.
  • Five NSU batters had a multi-hit game.
  • Jaeden Rosenquist had two doubles.
  • Gail Young tossed her tenth career shutout and stuck out seven Newman batters.
  • Jess Schuler became the fifth NSU batter to cross 100 career RBI with two in the first game.

THE BASICS
Score: Northeastern State 3, Newman 4
Records: Northeastern State (14-8, 2-2 MIAA), Newman (7-16, 1-3 MIAA)
NSU Pitcher of Record: Sydney Balderrama (2-4)

HOW IT HAPPENED
Following a scoreless first, the Jets took advantage of a two-out error, and the next batter plated a pair on a double.  

In the fourth, Schuler blasted her first of two homers of the game to start the inning. Sierra Crick evened NSU with the Jets scoring a run on an infield double-play.

Newman pulled ahead for the final time in the fifth after opening the frame with a double and single. A fielder's choice gave them the go-ahead run and a two-out single was enough insurance for the Jets.

Schuler put NSU within one with a leadoff homer in the sixth. In the final three outs, the RiverHawks managed to get the go-ahead run on to start the inning. However, they left those runners on base with three straight outs.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

  • Third career multi-homer game for Schuler.
  • Sydney Balderrama started the game and went five innings.
  • Sierra Crick saw her reached base streak halted at 19 games. It was the longest since the 2008 season.
