Colonels Wrap Up Series With Loss At Central Arkansas

Box Score (pdf)

CONWAY, Ark. –
Eastern Kentucky University, 9-6, in the series finale at Central Arkansas on Sunday.
 
The Colonels will host Western Kentucky on Tuesday at 6 p.m. ET.  It will be $2 Day with tickets, popcorn, hot dogs and beer priced at $2 each.  EKU baseball t-shirts will also be given away.
 
EKU got on the board first with a pair of runs in the first inning.  Dylan Littlefield brought home Pedro Moreno on a ground out.  A double off the bat of Jackson Cauthron made it 2-0.
 
The Bears erased the deficit with five runs in the second and led the rest of the way.  Casey Shipley was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to push across UCA's first run.  With two outs and the bases still loaded later in the inning, Zeb Allen sent a ball sailing over the wall in right field for a grand slam, and a 5-2 lead.
 
After the home team took a 7-2 lead in the third, EKU (10-30, 4-14 ASUN) got within three with two runs in the fifth, and again in the sixth when Littlefield hit a solo home run to make it 8-5.
 
With runners on second and third and no outs in the seventh, a ground out from Moreno was enough to close the gap to two, 8-6. 
 
Littlefield had a 1-for-4 game with a run and two RBIs.  Moreno was 1-for-3 with two walks, one run and one RBI.
 
Parker Gwyn had a 2-for-3 game with a walk and three runs scored for the Bears (22-18, 10-8 ASUN).  Allen was 3-for-5 with a run and four RBIs.
