GAME ONE
Overview:
Clarksville, Ark. – Lyon College scored three runs in the first inning and kept the Eagles from scoring until the sixth inning as the Scots took a 5-1 win in game one Wednesday. Lyon plated three runs on three hits in the first and then added two runs in the fourth to hold a 5-0 advantage. The Eagles got one run in the sixth after Jake Dempsey led off the bottom half of the inning with a double. Isaac Price later recorded a sacrifice fly to drive in Dempsey. But that would be all the Eagles' offense could generate. Cole Clark and Jeter Fulbright each had two hits.
