TAHLEQUAH - Northeastern State returns to action at Rousey Field on Tuesday at 3 p.m., where they will host their in-state rivals, Central Oklahoma, for a midweek MIAA clash.

The RiverHawks (9-19, 4-12 MIAA) split their four games last week and got into a slug fest in the last two games with MoWest scoring 27 runs.  Chance Pair had two home runs and six RBI in an 11-9 win over the Griffons, while Jackson Dillingham has homered in three of the last four games and has seven homers, which is inside the top-10 in the MIAA.  Klete Finley will come into Tuesday's game with a five-game hitting streak and scored four runs in Sunday's game.

Central Oklahoma (13-14, 4-9 MIAA) will come into Tuesday's midweek game dropping 11 of its previous 15.  The Bronchos would manage to run-rule top-ranked Pittsburg State on the road last weekend by a 13-3 margin.  Former NSU assistant Robbie Rea is in his first season as UCO's head coach; his brother, Butch, assists him and was a former catcher for NSU and an assistant coach.
