LITTLE ROCK, Ark.– The Oral Roberts baseball team would put an end to their six game losing-streak as they held off the Trojans in a standalone matchup at Little Rock.

After a weekend where runs were hard to come by, the Golden Eagles would immediately put the pressure on Little Rock as Drew Stahl would drive in Elijah Rodriguez on a sacrifice fly and Martell Davis would launch a two-run homer to left lifted to put ORU up 3-0 headed into the third.

The Trojans would tie things up in the third, but David Herring and Alex Rodgers quickly gave Keaton Ruthhardt a two-run cushion. Little Rock was able to pull a run back, however Stahl delivered a huge two-out, two-RBI single to increase the lead to four runs.

Price Allman would enter the game and provide ORU with two innings of no-hit relief as the Golden Eagles began to cruise to their first road win of 2024.

The Trojan did not go down without a fight putting together a rally in the eighth that brought them within in one run of tying the game. Brooks Fowler was called to close the game and would escape a jam with a strikeout to secure the 7-6 win.
