CLEVELAND, Miss. - One week after hitting a walk-off home run against Delta State at Clyde Berry Field, the Statesmen were able to exact revenge on Henderson State with a 5-1 victory Tuesday evening.

Luke Farrar, Kaden Argenbright and Colton Patterson each claimed two hits with Farrar logging the Reddies' lone RBI, scoring Jacob Carroll.

Starting pitcher Ethan Roark led the HSU defense with a solid start, pitching one inning while giving up just one hit and claiming a strikeout. After Roark, Baylor Brumley came in and kept DSU off the scoreboard for the next two innings. 

Offensively, the Reddies managed at least one hit in each of the first three innings, but were unable to bring the base-runner around each time. After a scoreless fourth, Delta gave the game its first runs with four in the home-half of the fourth to take a 4-0 lead.

After scoring its first run of the game in the fifth, Henderson threatened to cut into DSU's lead even more in the sixth with three hits, but a strikeout left two stranded as the Statesmen's four-run lead remained intact. A solo home run for Delta in the bottom of the inning spelled a 5-0 lead before a single HSU run was the final run scored of the contest.

Henderson St. (11-8, 5-4) will return to conference action when it welcomes No. 4 Southern Arkansas to Clyde Berry Field in a rematch of last season's Central Sub-Regional Semifinal. The weekend series will begin Friday, Mar. 10 at 6 p.m.
