Fayetteville, Ark.– The Oral Roberts baseball team would venture across state lines to take on the NCAA's newly ranked #1 team, Arkansas. The Golden Eagles would turn to Caleb Isaacs to open the game and the senior delivered tossing a shutout inning with a strikeout to retire the side.

The Razorbacks would get on the board first knocking in a pair of runs off a couple of singles in the second. Later that inning with runners on second and third, Arkansas had a chance to blow the game wide open early, but a ground ball to Dylan Wipperman was turned into a double play as Braydon Sanford would get the out at first and deliver a strike to Garrett Casey to nab the runner at home.

In the fifth, the home team was able to extend their lead to four runs but momentum began to shift towards the Golden Eagles as Sam Thompson would cut into the lead with a sacrifice fly before the seventh inning stretch.

Drew Stahl would later deliver a clutch two-out RBI single to bring ORU within two but Razorbacks would be able to hold off the Golden Eagles and take the 4-2 win.
