TAHLEQUAH – A three-run ninth by Rogers State snapped a ten-game win streak Saturday for Northeastern State, 6-3 at Rousey Field. 

The win streak matched an NCAA era high for the program that was set in 2000.

The Hillcats (20-21, 13-14 MIAA) hit a one-out single and double before getting a triple that rattled into the right-field corner for the go-ahead runs.  They would get one more insurance run on a single up the middle. 

Northeastern State was limited to six hits on the day and tied the game with two runs in the second and one in the third.  Scoring opportunities were limited for the RiverHawks until the eighth, when they had runners at second and third.  However, the threat wouldn't go further with the inning-ending on three straight swinging strikes. 

Collin Klingensmith had a two-hit game and scored two on a double, while Blaze Brothers hit an RBI triple.  C.D. White pushed his hit streak to 16 with a single to start the second. 

Trey Havens tossed three innings of relief, and Cohen Bell made his sixth consecutive scoreless appearance.  Jake Bigham (2-2) allowed four hits in the ninth and was charged with the loss.

Northeastern State goes to 28-13 on the year and 17-10 in the MIAA. 

The RiverHawks head to Alva Tuesday for a non-conference game with Northwestern Oklahoma.
