ARKADELPHIA – Ouachita baseball senior pitcher Luke House tossed his second consecutive complete game and the Tigers came up with clutch hits on Saturday to salvage one game in this weekend's home series against 24th-ranked Harding.

Ouachita lost Saturday's first game by a score of 12-1 to give the Bisons the series win, but the Tigers rallied back to win the finale 4-2.

House moved to 3-1 this season with his complete-game victory, allowing just one earned run on four hits with 10 strikeouts and four walks in seven innings of work.

Isaac Nowell gave House a lead to work with by hitting a solo home run in the top of the first inning that narrowly made it over the fence in right field. It was Nowell's third round-tripper of the season.

The Bisons evened the score in top of the second on a sac fly.

Wesley Scott came through with a clutch hit in the bottom of the second, a two-out, two-run single to put the Tigers up 3-1.

Harding answered and made it a one-run game in the third inning, but House settled in to keep the Bisons off the scoreboard the rest of the way, including ending the game with a streak of 11 straight retired Bison batters.

Joseph Bolin tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth with an RBI single.

In the first game on Saturday, Harding scored three in the second, six in the fourth, and three more in the seventh to earn the run-rule victory. The Bisons held the Tigers to just a pair of hits in the game, one being a solo home run by Garrett Graham in the bottom of the seventh for Ouachita's only score of the game.

The Tigers are on the road for their next four contests with a midweek game against Arkansas Tech on Tuesday and a GAC series in Magnolia next weekend against Southern Arkansas.
