MONTICELLO, Ark. - Junior Austin Baker produced three of Southern Arkansas' eight hits and drew two of the team's five walks, while adding three stolen bases, but Arkansas-Monticello plated four runs in the seventh inning and added six more in the eighth to overcome a 4-1 deficit in Tuesday afternoon's nonconference victory over #12/9 Muleriders.

The Muleriders (17-8) led 3-0 after the first half inning as a two-run single from senior Kane Koenigseder and an RBI single from the bat of junior Cooper King set the table early in favor of Southern Arkansas. In the third inning, junior Justin Hanlin plated Koenigseder on a sacrifice fly to give SAU a 4-0 lead.

UAM scratched its first run in the fourth off of Mulerider starter Parker Abrego. Abrego went 4.0 innings and allowed just four hits and the lone run, while walking four and striking out three in his first career start. 

Ten of the Weevils' 11 runs and ten of the team's 15 hits came in the seventh and eighth innings as UAM also took advantage of three SAU errors in those frames.

Southern Arkansas prepares for a league series on the road in Durant, Oklahoma. The Muleriders will play Southeastern Oklahoma in a 1 p.m. doubleheader on Friday, March 22 and a single nine-inning game at noon on Saturday, March 23. Live coverage links available at www.MuleriderAthletics.com.
