Game One
The Eagles took a quick lead in the first when Trent Pobst (SR/Scott City, MO) scored on Nick Allred (SO/Portageville, Mo.)'s RBI sac fly. The Owls responded with two runs in the first and second innings for a 4-1 lead. The Eagles came back with four runs in the third to take a 5-4 lead. Allred scored on Andrew Cooper (JR/Paragould, Ark.)'s RBI single to left. Jarron Brantley (FR/Jonesboro, AR) was walked and that loaded the bases for Chas Bell (FR/Southaven, Ms.) who hit a bases-clearing double to give the Eagles the lead. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the Owls scored six in the bottom half of the inning to retake the lead at 10-5. They added another run in the fourth to extend their lead to 11-5. The Eagles were able to score one more run when Bell scored on Brady Smith (SO/Cave City, Ark.)'s RBI double, but that was it.
Chase Hutson (JR/Paragould, Ark.) got the start on the mound and pitched 1.2 innings. He gave up four runs off four hits, and struck out one.
