ADA, Oklahoma – Henderson State saw a brief 3-0 lead before eventually dropping the series finale to East Central, 5-3. The Reddies' three-runs were all brought in by Addie Jordan as she sent a three-run home run over the left-center field wall. With two hits and three RBIs on the day, Jordan brought her weekend total to two runs, three hits and four RBIs.
 
Henderson (11-27, 8-19) will return to Dee White Field this upcoming weekend when it takes on the Great American Conference's first-place Southeastern Oklahoma State Savage Storm in a 3-game series April 23 & 24.
 
With each team only seeing two hits total through the first two innings, Jordan followed a Kailey Reese and Abbie Moore single with a three-run homer to put HSU on the board, 3-0. The dinger brings the freshman's count to three on the season.
 
Henderson was able to hang onto its 3-0 lead for two more innings as Becca Almond only gave up three hits in the Tigers' next two at-bats. With the Reddies unable to extend their lead any, the bottom of the fifth is when HSU saw its advantage evaporate.
 
The Tigers went from being down, 3-0, to being ahead, 5-3, on three swings of the bat as a grand-slam followed by back-to-back doubles turned the tables on Henderson. The momentum shift was too much for the Reddies to overcome as ECU claimed the game-3 victory, 5-3.
