A two-run seventh inning helped propel Arkansas Tech over Henderson State 4-3 in non-conference baseball action in Russellville on Tuesday afternoon.
 
The Reddies(11-13) got on the board first in the top of the first inning when AJ Kruzel blasted a home-run over the right field wall to put HSU up 1-0, but Arkansas Tech answered with a Dylan McDearmon homer to even the score in the bottom of the first.
 
Neither team would score again until the top of the fifth inning when HSU reclaimed the lead as Hunter Mayall grounded out to the shortstop which allowed Matt Evans to plate.
 
However, Tech would answer once again to tie the game 2-2 in the bottom of the fifth as Marcus Wilson homered over the right-center wall.
 
A scoreless sixth inning proceeded before the Reddies once again took the lead in the top of the seventh as Mayall scored Evans again on a single to left field.
 
Arkansas Tech would eventually take the lead in the bottom of the inning adding two runs on scores from Blake King and Seth Wheeler to claim the victory as neither team scored again.
 
Mayall led all Reddies on the day with three hits and two RBI on five at-bats, while Matt Evans pitched in two hits.
 
Blake Patterson suffered the loss from the mound for HSU, falling to 1-3  on the season after pitching 1.1 innings and giving up three hits and two runs.
