Baseball Bisons Swept in Doubleheader at Ouachita Baptist

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – Harding had its four-game winning streak to start the season snapped Saturday with a pair of losses to Ouachita Baptist in Great American Conference play at Rab Rogers Field.

Ouachita Baptist (3-5, 2-3) won by scores of 8-3 and 17-5. The two teams conclude the series Sunday with a single game at 1 p.m.

Harding (4-2, 3-2) trailed 8-0 in the opener before scoring in the top of the eighth on David Butterfield's three-run homer, his second of the season.

Harding had 11 hits in the game with multi-hit games coming from Michael Chrisman, Connor Kelly and Butterfield, who was 2-for-3 with a run and three RBIs.

The Bisons took an early 2-0 lead in game two on a two-run homer from Connor Kelly, also his second of the season. Harding scored two more in the fourth and cut the Ouachita Baptist lead to 5-4. Harrison Hefley hit his second home run of the season to lead off the inning, and Chris Witzke later drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.

It was all Ouachita from there, with the Tigers scoring 12 runs in the next two innings. Harding added one more in the top of the seventh on a Luke Van Dover sacrifice fly.

Kelly had two of Harding's six hits in the game.
