SEARCY – Harding baseball returns to Jerry Moore Field on Wednesday for a non-conference game against Arkansas-Fort Smith. First pitch is at 4 p.m., and the game will air live on HardingSports.com.

Harding (9-4) is coming off a three-game Great American Conference series against Southeastern Oklahoma in which the Bisons won the second of the three games. Harding is 8-1 at home this season, including its 12-2 victory over then No. 1-ranked Delta State last Wednesday.

The Bisons' hottest hitter entering Wednesday's game is junior Victor Guerra, who has a team-best five-game hitting streak. He is hitting .313 during the streak with three runs and two RBI.

Harding head coach Dr. Patrick McGaha plans to use as many as six pitchers in the game.

Arkansas-Fort Smith (9-5) has won four straight and is coming off a three-game Heartland Conference sweep of Oklahoma Panhandle State on Sunday and Monday in Goodwell, Okla.
