Overstreet tied for 10th

University of Arkansas, Fayettevil­le freshman Mason Overstreet shot a third-round 72 and is tied for 10th with a 6-under 210 at the NCAA Division I Championsh­ip at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill.

Overstreet had five birdies — three on the front nine — to make the turn a 1-under. He birdied the par-five 11th hole to get to 2-under, but a double-bogey on No. 17 dropped him back to even par for the day and 6-under for the championsh­ip. He advanced to today’s final round with tee off at a time to be announced. Final round of Rebsamen tournament­s canceled

Sunday’s final round of the Rebsamen Invitation­al/City Championsh­ip was canceled after the Rebsamen Golf Course in Little Rock was deemed unplayable after an overnight rain. As a result, Saturday’s results were declared final. Peyton Wilhoit defeated Trent Jones in a three-hold playoff Sunday to win the open division after shooting a 5-under-par 67. Nicklas Zimmerman won the city championsh­ip, open to Pulaski County residents only, with a 3-under 69. Ben Loftis, Bev Hargraves and Curtis Savoy shared the title in the senior division with a 2-under 70. Lyle Middleton won the mid-senior division with a 1-under 71. Bill Wrentz won the super senior division with a 4-under 68.

ASU’s Zuber, Howard named to all-tournament team

Arkansas State University’s Alex Howard and Tyler Zuber were named to the 2017 Sun Belt Conference all-tournament team Sunday.

Howard hit a team-best .455 in the three games with three of his five hits going for extra bases with two doubles and his fourth home run of the season in the 21-4 victory over Georgia State in the opening round. The junior infielder drove home 4 runs, scored 4 runs, had a .538 on-base percentage, slugged .909, and didn’t strikeout in 11 at-bats.

Zuber ended his career earning victories in each of the team’s victories in the tournament. He went 12/3 perfect innings in the 21-4 victory over Georgia State Thursday before going the final 32/3 innings in Friday’s 4-2 victory over Texas-Arlington. He struck out one against Georgia State before adding six more against UT Arlington. The right-handed reliever allowed 1 run on 2 hits in the 2 games, holding opposing hitters to a .133 average.
