NO. 8 NORTHEAST DROPS SERIES FINALE TO NO. 11 KIRKWOOD

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – The No. 8 Northeast Community College baseball team again battled with No. 11 Kirkwood Community College Sunday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in the series finale of a three-game set. The Eagles prevailed in the ICCAC contest, winning by a final score of 10-0 to take the series. 

The Hawks (29-6, 9-4 ICCAC) tallied three more hits on the afternoon than the Eagles but were unable to capitalize on any of those baserunners. Despite only allowing five hits on the mound, the Hawks walked 10 different batters. Samuel Manwarren (Overland Park, Kan.) nabbed three total bases in the showdown. 

STAT SHEET GAME 1:  

Samuel Manwarren (Overland Park, Kan.): 2-3, 2B 

Houston Fogelstrom (Omaha, Neb.): 2-3 

Kaden Young (Columbus, Neb.): 2-3 

HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:  

Head baseball coach Marcus Clapp's overall thoughts on how he wants his team to rebound from their first ICCAC series loss of the season:  

"We need to get back to what we were doing early," Clapp said. "Have to throw strikes and quit giving up free bases. Offensively, we have to get our foot down and stay with a middle approach." 

UP NEXT:  

The Hawks will return home for another ICCAC matchup against Iowa Central Community College this week. The first game of a doubleheader is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Wednesday at Norfolk Veterans Memorial Baseball Field in Norfolk.
