LITTLE ROCK – A career-high five RBI from John Michael Russ helped Little Rock rally from a 3-0 deficit and score seven unanswered in a 7-3 win over South Alabama at Gary Hogan Field Friday evening. The win snaps the Trojans' five-game losing skid as Little Rock improves to 13-13 on the year and 4-3 in Sun Belt Conference play.
Russ finished the game 2-for-4, coming to the plate twice with the bases loaded and taking advantage of the opportunity. He drilled a three-RBI triple in the sixth, then scored off an ensuing fielding error to give the Trojans the 5-3 lead, then singled through the left side in the seventh to bring in two more and push the advantage to 7-3.
