SEARCY, Ark. - The University of Arkansas at Monticello baseball team lost game one of its road series against Harding Friday night. The Weevils put together another double-digit hit performance, but could not push those runners across the plate falling 6-2 in the series-opener.

With the loss, UAM falls to 7-12 overall and 7-9 in Great American Conference play. Harding improves to 13-7 on the year and 10-6 in league contests.

UAM starter Mason Philley ran into trouble early thanks to a pair of fielding errors and a wild pitch in the first inning. Harding took advantage plating two runs on just one hit in the frame.

The Weevils put two on in the next half inning, but grounded into an inning-ending double play.

After working a 1-2-3 frame in the bottom of the second, Philley allowed the Bisons to bring another run home on three hits in the third.

UAM responded in the top half of the fourth as Grant Shepherd drove home the first run of the contest with an RBI-double to right field. In the very next at bat, Cole Muckleroy brought in Trey Forsythe from third on a groundout to the shortstop cutting the Weevils' deficit to 3-2.

Harding struck again against Philley in the fifth plating two runs on three hits to stretch its lead back out to 5-2. Philley then put the Bisons down in order in the sixth and seventh before giving way to Jared Roberts out of the bullpen.

Roberts gave up one run on one hit in his only inning of work in the eighth as UAM ultimately lost the game 6-2.

The Weevils recorded at least one hit in every inning of the contest, but only managed to bring runners around to score in the fourth as runners were left stranded in eight of the nine innings.

Eight of UAM's nine starters recorded at least one hit with Shepherd and Gaela leading the way each posting three-hit performances.

Philley (L, 1-3) ended the night with the loss allowing five runs, just three earned, on eight hits while striking out 12 in 7.0 innings.

Roberts gave up one run on one hit and struck out two in one inning out of the bullpen.

Andrew Bradshaw (W, 5-1) earned the win after surrendering two runs on 10 hits in 6.0 innings on the mound.

Ryder Yakel (S, 5) picked up the save dealing 2.1 scoreless to close out the game for Harding.
