CLEVELAND, Miss. – Senior Tyler Caruthers went 3-for-3 with a pair of runs batted in to lead the 23rd-ranked University of Arkansas at Monticello baseball team in a 7-3 loss to 13th-ranked Delta State on Wednesday at Boo Ferris Field.

The Statesmen (22-6) took a 7-1 lead after six full innings with one run in each of the second, third, fourth and fifth innings, and three more in the sixth.

UAM (24-11) took advantage of a pair of DSU errors to push across two runs in the top of the seventh and finalize the scoring. Caruthers picked up his third hit of the game and second RBI as a part of that two-run rally.

Down 2-0 to start the fourth inning, UAM cut the deficit in half on an RBI single from Caruthers to score senior D'Marco Poindexter, who doubled off the wall in left center earlier in the inning.

Junior Turner Neely (2-1) took the loss after giving up four runs (three earned) off eight hits in the first 4.2 innings. Casey Greene (1-1) earned the win for DSU after giving up just one run off six hits in the first four innings.

The Weevils are back in action this Friday and Saturday (April 4-5) on the road against Southeastern Oklahoma State. The three-game series opens with a single game on Friday at 2 p.m. and concludes with a double-header on Saturday starting at noon in Durant, Okla.
