NORTHEAST BEGINS CONFERENCE PLAY TUESDAY AGAINST DMACC AT HOME

NORFOLK, Neb. – The Northeast Community College baseball team was back home at Norfolk Veterans Memorial Baseball Field in Norfolk Tuesday to begin conference play against Des Moines Area Community College. The Hawks fell in the matchup by a final score of 10-0.

Northeast (14-10, 0-1 ICCAC) struggled to get things going at the plate in the showdown as the Hawks were only able to record two hits throughout the day. Greysen Strauss (Lexington, Neb.) was a bright spot for Northeast as the sophomore went two innings in relief and did not allow a hit during his outing. The Hawks will get back after it this weekend with a three-game series against NJCAA DI Indian Hills Community College beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday at home.

STAT SHEET:

Brady Fitzpatrick (Bellevue, Neb.): 1-3

Kye Privett (Papillion, Neb.): 1-3

Greysen Strauss (Lexington, Neb.): 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, K

HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:

Head Baseball Coach Marcus Clapp on how to bounce back heading into the weekend:

"We are going to take tomorrow off, and guys are trying to do too much," Clapp said. "We are not clicking right now. We had a few games where I thought we were clicking. Yesterday was the same thing. We have scored three runs in the last 21 innings. For some reason, suddenly we are doing something different and not sticking with our approach. That's where we are at right now."

UP NEXT:

The Hawks will stay home and will host NJCAA DI Indian Hills Community College in a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday at Norfolk Veterans Memorial Baseball Field in Norfolk.
