CENTRAL ARKANSAS 16, EVANSVILLE 9
Central Arkansas took an early lead, then survived a mid-inning rally from Evansville on Friday at Bear Stadium in Conway.
UCA scored two runs in the bottom of the first on an RBI groundout from William Hancock and a wild pitch that scored Hunter Strong. After a home run by Evansville's Jimmy Day in the second inning cut the lead to 2-1, Central Arkansas answered in the third with an RBI single by Colby LeBlanc. The Bears then took an 8-1 lead in the fourth inning when two runs scored on a fielding error by Evansville second baseman Trey Hair, and Josh Somdecerff followed with a three-run home run to left-center field.
