Ouachita (18-19) was the first to score in the game with an RBI single from
Reece McWilliams in the first inning and an RBI single from
Ashton Ybarra in the second to regain the lead at 2-1 after the Reddies scored once in the top of the frame.
HSU's five-run rally in the fourth inning gave the Reddies the cushion they needed to keep Ouachita from making a comeback.
McWilliams added another RBI in the sixth inning on a double.
Garrett Graham had an RBI double of his own in the seventh.
