Weevils Tame Lions to Advance to Regional Finals

JOPLIN, Mo. – The University of Arkansas at Monticello baseball team continued their run in the 2024 NCAA DII Central Region Tournament on Friday afternoon. The No. 6 seeded Boll Weevils were the home team in the match-up, taking on the No. 2 seeded Lions of the host team, Missouri Southern State. In a late-game rally, UAM took the win in the contest, 7-4.

The Boll Weevils opened the tournament with a GAC Championship rematch against Arkansas Tech. After both teams' offenses took fire, Monticello eventually came out on top, 11-9.

Game 1, 9 Innings
 
Missouri Southern: 4, Arkansas-Monticello: 7

Scoring Recap:
Missouri Southern saw their offense control the majority of the ball game, leading 4-0 after the first six innings. Jacob McDaniel came in to pitch after the final two runs, threw three shutout innings, and allowed only one hit.

The Boll Weevils changed the script in the seventh, scoring five runs to shift the momentum to the Boll Weevils. Roc Hawthorne kicked off the rally, scoring Parker Dorrance on a single up the middle. Camden Tanner doubled down the right field line to score two, followed by a single up the middle from Kirk Woolf for the equalizer. Chase Cripps ripped his first triple of the season to score the go-ahead run, capping off the five-run inning.

UAM tacked on a couple of insurance runs in the eighth, with Kirk Woolf driving in two runs on a double to left field. Nelson Mercado closed the game to earn his tenth save of the season.

The win on the day pushes Arkansas-Monticello to the Regional Championship game, giving the Boll Weevils their 34th win.
