NSU Streaks to 11th Straight Win (4-22-06)
TAHLEQUAH, Okla. --- Northeastern State won its 11th consecutive softball game here Saturday with a 3-2 and 7-1 sweep over East Central in the Lone Star North finale on Senior Day. The Lady Reds improved to 26-18 overall and 15-9 in league play, while the Tigers fell to a dismal 5-29 and 1-23.It took eight innings in the opener for NSU to dispose of ECU. After a pair of unearned runs in the Tiger sixth tied the game at 2-all, Rachael Christian delivered a double to center field to score the speedy Shae Moore from first base for the game-winning run. Moore had singled to start the NSU eighth.
Stevie Bailey tossed a complete game to earn her sixth win of the season against eight losses. The Broken Arrow product allowed five hits and fanned seven on the afternoon. NSU also collected just five hits in the game with Christian collecting two in four plate appearances.
Northeastern wasted little time in taking control in the nightcap. Shaelyn Moore drew a bases loaded walk in the second inning for NSU's first run and Brooke Smith drilled a line shot over the center field fence for a grand slam homer for a 5-0 advantage. Christian then belted a triple to right field to score Shae Moore and the route was on.
East Central got a run in the third and NSU added an insurance tally in the bottom of the frame and that's all the Lady Reds would need to pick up the victory. Jessica Johnson went the distance to improve to 12-9 on the season. She struck out seven and walked one despite surrendering eight hits.
Vanessa Cook was three-for-four to pace NSU's nine-hit attack, while Christian and Dee Tatum had two hits apiece.
