Victory over No. 2 Southern Arkansas a First for HU Baseball

MAGNOLIA, Ark. – For a program that has played more than 1,200 games, firsts are rare. But with its 7-3 victory over No. 2-ranked Southern Arkansas in the second game of Sunday's Great American Conference doubleheader, Harding earned its first-ever road win over a top-5 team.

With the win, Harding improved to 13-6 overall and 4-5 in conference. It was the Bisons' 17th attempt at a road win over a top-5 team.

Harding trailed game two 3-2 after five innings, but Seth Johnson got the rally started for the Bisons in the sixth. He led off the inning with a walk and went to second on Coulton Doyle's single. Sebastian Martinez made it three hits in a row with another single that scored Johnson with the tying run.

Logan Lacey put the Bisons ahead with a two-run double to left, and Harding went ahead 5-3.

Harding also opened the seventh with three straight singles. The third, from Johnson, scored Drew McNeel with Harding's sixth run. Lacey drove in his third run of the game with a soft liner to left with two outs.

Andrew Bradshaw (3-0) pitched the final 2.2 innings for the Bisons and retired the Muleriders in the seventh to seal the win for Harding. Will Roguske started and allowed three runs on three hits and struck out six.

Lacey's 3-for-4 effort was his fifth this season with three or more hits.

Southern Arkansas won the opener 15-5.

Harding plays a nonconference game Tuesday at home against Union University.
