LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Last Monday should have been a happy day for Jackson Wells, but it wasn't. The disappointment was written all over his face. The senior, three-year Little Rock baseball starting pitcher joined several other teammates and track and field athletes for a special baccalaureate ceremony at the Jack Stephens Center.
While the mood was festive with a large audience of supporters in attendance, Wells was disappointed after dropping the final regular-season series to SEMO – 19-0, 10-4 and 14-4 in seven innings. With those losses, Little Rock had dropped 13 of its final 14 regular-season games and finished tied for eighth place in the Ohio Valley Conference with Western Illinois.
