SHAWNEE, Okla. – Three runs would prove to be all the Southern Arkansas University baseball team needed on Saturday afternoon, as transfer pitcher Wyatt Marr put together an incredible performance on the mount to limit Oklahoma Baptist to one run over nine innings. With the 3-1 victory to get the series win over OKBU, the Muleriders move to 31-9 (23-4 GAC) on the year.
 
Marr, the long haired lefty from Texas moves to 6-0 on the year after pitching a complete 9.0 inning game. He worked around seven hits and only allowed one run in the outing while picking up three strikeouts and only walking one.
 
SAU jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a Brett McGee single to right field that scored Chris Sutton, who was hit by the first pitch of the game to reach base safely. The Muleriders would post their other to runs one inning later in the top of the second. McGee picked up his second RBI of the day on a sac fly to left field that scored Riley Orr. Brandon Nicoll followed that up with a double to right center that pushed across Sutton to make it 3-0 in favor of SAU.
 
OKBU's one run came in the bottom of the fourth inning as they scored on a groundout to the second base. The Bison starter in Brek Galbreath had a solid outing as he pitched 8.2 innings and struck out 13 on nine hits.
