MARSHALL, Texas - Despite a well-pitched ball game from both sides, the East Texas Baptist University baseball team would be undone by two solo home runs as they fell to the University of the Ozarks, 2-1. ETBU is now 22-12 overall and 15-6 in American Southwest Conference play.

Cameron Neel would record the only RBI on two hits for the Tigers. Zachary McAdams, Will Kelley, Christopher Shay, and Christopher Robinson all had a hit for ETBU. Cole Godkin would take his first loss of the season with two runs allowed on seven hits while striking out three batters.

Both teams would be held scoreless through two innings before UO broke through with a solo homer in the top of the third. In the fourth, UO attempted to add to their lead as a home run was robbed by Colson Sledge.

ETBU would put a runner in scoring position in the sixth only to leave him stranded. The Eagles tacked on to their lead with another solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to lead 2-0. Neel would come through with an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth, but UO would seal the final three outs in the ninth to claim the win.

ETBU will travel to Jackson, Miss., to take on Belhaven University for three games next weekend. Friday night's opener will start at 6:00 PM.
