RBI single from

Arkansas got RBI singles from DeCarlo and Cowan to take a 3-2 lead. Dom Thompson-Williams tripled down the left-field line in the fifth inning and scored on Kyle Lewis’ sacrifice fly, pushing the lead to 4-2. A two-run double from Angelo Mora in the bottom of the sixth inning tied the game at 4-4.

Chris Mariscal was 3 for 5 with 1 run scored from the leadoff spot, while Fraley and Cowan had two hits each for the Travs.
