CLAREMORE — A pair of two-run homers by Rogers State handed the RiverHawks a 6-2 loss Thursday afternoon in their MIAA opener. 

Addy Wolfe had two of NSU's five hits and her fourth homer of the year. 

Rogers State struck first with a one-out triple, leading to an RBI single.  Wolfe matched the Hillcats with one swing on the bat hitting a homer that just cleared the centerfield wall. 

The Hillcats (19-2, 1-0 MIAA)  snuck a run back on a double-steal with two outs.  The runner advancing to second would be tagged out but not before RSU plated a run. 

NSU (12-10, 0-1 MIAA) hit back-to-back singles before Sydney Balderrama smashed her fourth double of the year to right-center to tie the game at 2-2.  The scoring continued and RSU splashed a two-out, two-run homer to left to re-take the lead.  They would plate two more in the fourth on a homer to center. 

The scoring was halted by both teams the rest of the way as NSU would go hitless and only have one batter reach. 

Gail Young (5-3) went 5 1/3 innings and struck out two batters.
