Box Score ARKADELPHIA, Ark. - The Ouachita Tigers scored four runs in the top of the seventh inning and outfielder Jace Melby drove in three runs en route to a 7-3 non-conference road win over Arkansas Tech University in Russellville on Tuesday night. Zach Gloff picked up the win to improve to 2-0.

Jace Melby drove in the first two runs of the game on a homerun to centerfield in the top of the first. He put the Tigers back ahead, 3-2, in the top of the sixth, taking four straight balls to draw the bases-loaded walk that scored Preston Speers.

Reuben Miller went 3-4 in the game and scored a run in the top of the seventh when Kyle Alexander hit a fly ball to centerfield. Preston Speers scored his second run of the game in the seventh on a single through the right side of the infield by Parker Norris.
