        By Roldan Ochoa

        The RiverHawks played the Fall Classic Exhibition games Sept. 25 and 26 at 1 p.m. and Sept. 28 at 2 p.m. on the baseball field at NSU. The Fall Classic is part of their pre-season and they played against Tonkawa, Carl Albert and North Arkansas College.

        ¨We are trying to put our players together and in a game situation. That is why we play the Fall Classic and we also play for the fund raising to get money for our baseball program,¨  Head Coach Sergio Espinal said.

        The RiverHawks play against these colleges to get playing time during this preseason, raise some money for the program, get to know each other as a team, and what they roles are going to be on the baseball field playing together. 

        ¨Our expectations for these games are to win every game and every inning, ¨ Assistant Coach Nash Garcia said.

         This is what will get the team prepared for the coming season beginning Feb. 1, 2011.
