Baseball drops MIAA finale at Newman

WICHITA, Kan. – Northeastern State surrendered nine unanswered runs in the late innings and suffered a 9-6 loss at Newman Sunday. 

The setback snapped a six-game winning streak for the RiverHawks as they close MIAA play with a 22-11 mark. 

Only four of Newman's runs came earned, with the Jets hitting a three-run homer in the sixth to cut the NSU lead in half.  The Jets blasted a two-run shot to get within one run in the seventh.  Newman continued the rally and loaded the bases, but the RiverHawks' luck didn't fall their way with a two-out strikeout resulting in the tying run to come home on a passed ball.  

The dagger for NSU came in the following Newman batter, who cleared the bases with a triple to take a 9-6 lead. 

Tucker Dunlap had a two-hit, two-RBI day, with the RiverHawks having eight hits on the day.  Most of NSU's offense came in the first two innings, scoring four of their runs. 

Newman improved to 23-23 (13-20 MIAA) with the win and prevented the series sweep. 

Northeastern State is 34-14 and will close out the regular season with Oklahoma Baptist in Shawnee Tuesday before hosting a best-of-three series Friday in Tahlequah in the opening round of the MIAA Tournament.
