MARYVILLE, Mo. – Northeastern State led early, but Northwest Missouri scored in all but one inning to run-rule them 13-3 in eight innings Saturday. 

The RiverHawks were limited to five hits, while the Bearcats had 17.  Brock Reller was the lone player to have two base knocks against Northwest, and Blaze Brothers hit his fifth homer of the season, plating two in the fifth inning. 

Lee Callison (0-2) struck out two but was removed at the start of the fourth.   Seven of the Bearcats' 13 runs would come unearned, with the RiverHawks committing three errors. 

Northeastern State falls to 17-7 (7-7 MIAA) and will return to the field Sunday for a 2 p.m. first pitch against the Bearcats.
