CENTERVILLE, Iowa – The Northeast Community College baseball team split a doubleheader with Indian Hills Community College on Saturday, 3-2 and 15-3, before falling twice on Sunday, 2-0 and 8-6 in Centerville, Iowa.
In Game 1 on Saturday, the Hawks (27-21, 21-13 ICCAC) needed only three runs to defeat the Warriors, which all came in the top of the fourth inning.

Jeremy Schneider (Lovell, Wyo.) was the winning pitcher of record. The righty threw five innings, allowing two earned runs off five hits. Matt Dreher (Blair, Neb.) was credited with the save.

The Hawks took an early 3-0 lead until the Warriors clawed back to add three runs in the bottom of the third and two more in the bottom of the fourth to keep the Hawks at bay. Northeast managed to add two runs in the top of the ninth, but it wasn't enough to salvage the split.
