WICHITA, Kan. -- Northeastern State's offense stayed hot, scoring 12 runs in the first three innings to cruise past Newman 15-8 on Monday at McCarthy Field, completing a three-game sweep in conference play.

The RiverHawks (6-5, 3-0 MIAA) wasted no time, plating five runs in both the first and second innings to take a commanding early lead. They racked up 16 hits, including home runs from Gage Williams and Tanner Almond.

Holden Yoder led the way offensively, going 3-for-3 with four runs scored and reaching base five times. Diego Murillo added three hits and two RBI, while Austin Rees contributed a two-run double.

On the mound, starter Murphy Bostick (1-0) earned the win, allowing one run on one hit over five strong innings while striking out three. The NSU bullpen worked through a sixth inning in which Newman (3-8, 0-3 MIAA) scored six runs, but Holden Yaksick closed the door with 3.2 innings of two-run ball to secure the victory.

Newman was limited to seven hits but capitalized on walks and a big sixth inning to stay within striking distance. Eli Wohl homered and drove in a pair for the Jets.

The RiverHawks added insurance runs in the eighth and ninth innings to seal the win and complete the sweep.

Northeastern State has won seven consecutive over Newman and returns home Friday to host Rogers State at 3 p.m.
