Northeastern State's softball team is gearing up for its final homestand of the season, hosting Fort Hays State and Nebraska-Kearney this weekend. With recent struggles resulting in a six-game losing streak, the RiverHawks (20-17, 7-9 MIAA) are looking to bounce back. Saturday is significant as it features Community Day and Senior Day, with free admission and pre-game recognitions for seniors. Top performers include Mia Sarwinski and Mattison Hamilton, while the RiverHawks hope to improve their pitching after a tough outing against the Jennies.

By the Numbers
  • The RiverHawks have recorded five hits from Mia Sarwinski over the last four games.
  • Fort Hays State's Hannah Green ranks sixth in the MIAA with a .432 batting average.
State of Play
  • Northeastern has allowed at least 10 hits in four of their last six games.
  • Fort Hays State is 12th in the MIAA for team ERA at 5.31.
What's Next

The RiverHawks will focus on breaking their losing streak against FHSU on Friday and UNK on Saturday, aiming to leverage home-field advantage. Community and senior recognition events will likely boost team morale.

Bottom Line

The RiverHawks need to stabilize both their batting and pitching if they hope to turn their season around in this crucial final homestand.
