Box Score ENID, Okla. - The Tigers scored 10 runs on 16 hits, including a grand slam by Landon Moore in the bottom of the eighth inning in a loss against SAU Sunday afternoon at David Allen Memorial Ballpark.

Ghidotti would lead off the sixth with a triple, his GAC-leading seventh of the year, down the left field line. Chris Tavares would reach first on an infield single in the next at bat. With two on, Jace Melby launched a 381 foot bomb over the left field wall to make it a 12-4 game. Tavares would single home Landon Moore in the bottom of the seventh.

Down 15-5 in the bottom of the eighth, Tyler Faught would single opposite-field to score Jace Melby from third. A walk would load the bases for Landon Moore. Moore would drill the second pitch he saw 350 ft for a grand slam and cut the SAU lead to five.

The Tigers would try to rally in the bottom of the ninth, but were unable to score. Ouachita is now 25-27 on the year.
