Three Rivers softball had to find two different ways to get the same result Friday against North Central Missouri. The Raiders hit four solo home runs to seal a 4-3 victory in the first game of a doubleheader at Rains Field. In the second game, the offense was slow to start, but the defense was on a roll. That gave the players enough time to find their bats. Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Three Rivers scored three runs in its final two innings at the plate to earn a 3-1 win, extending its winning streak to 16 games.
