Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

A pair of late inning rallies by Henderson State fell short as Arkansas-Monticello beat the Reddies 8-6 and 7-5, Saturday in Monticello, Ark.

The Reddies, 5-13 overall and 4-5 in the Great American Conference, outhit UAM in the opener but committed three errors while Reddie pitchers walked seven batters and hit five.

Trailing 8-2 in the ninth, the Reddies rallied for four runs with Matt Evans having a two-run single, while Joseph Gary hit a two-run homer. However, the deficit was too much to overcome as UAM reliever Kregg Snook got out of the inning to end the game.

In game two, UAM jumped out to a 6-0 lead before the Reddies got on the board in the third-inning as Andrew Reynolds singled and later scored on an Evans sacrifice fly.

After Carlos Rodriguez drove in Henderson's second run with a RBI single in the fourth, the Reddies scored three runs in the sixth with Andy Kovarik driving in two runs with a single.

Rodriguez also had a run-scoring single in the inning, but UAM reliever Jeff Harvill closed the door retiring the final five Reddie hitters in order including striking out four.

Evans was 4-for-8 at the plate for the Reddies having two doubles and three runs batted in the two games.

Hunter Mayall, Connor Brackhahn, and Rodriguez all had two hits each.

Henderson State will next play host to Union University in a non-conference double-header with the first pitch set for Noon at Clyde Berry Field.
