TAHLEQUAH – Northeastern State returns home and will play four consecutive games at Thomas C. Rousey Field in Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) action.  The RiverHawks host Northwest Missouri State for a three-game series starting Saturday and Central Oklahoma Tuesday at 5 p.m.

Weather adjusted both dates, with the Northwest Missouri series being pushed back a day due to expected local rainfall amounts.  Due to weather conditions, Tuesday's date with UCO was swapped with the Bronchos. 

Northwest Missouri (5-19, 3-10 MIAA) will be looking for its first true road win of the season.  The Bearcats lost a home series with Pittsburg State due to inclement weather in Maryville.  Northwest would win one game of the three-game series but was the home team at Pitt State.   

Central Oklahoma (18-8, 7-6 MIAA) has a three-game series at Newman and a day off before facing the RiverHawks.  The Bronchos held off a late rally, 10-7, in the series' first game. 

Northeastern State (10-14, 4-9 MIAA) has dropped five consecutive games, all on the road,  heading into this weekend.  Brady Evans has reached base in nine straight games, and Isaiah Keller leads the RiverHawks at the plate with ten doubles and a .337 batting average.

First pitch Saturday is at 5 p.m., Sunday at 2 p.m., and Monday at noon.
