Kerrville, Texas - The University of the Ozarks used a massive sixth-inning rally to surge past Schreiner University 8-3 Thursday evening in game three of the series.

The Eagles were held scoreless through the first five innings and trailed 2-0 before erupting for seven runs in the top of the sixth to take control of the game.

Schreiner struck first in the opening inning on an RBI single from Brinley Smith, and added another run in the third inning to build a 2-0 advantage. The Eagles struggled to generate offense early but stayed within striking distance behind steady pitching from Bailee Cowell.

The game shifted dramatically in the sixth inning as the Eagles capitalized on timely hitting and patience at the plate. Dez Soto drove in the team's first run after being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Kendall Lynch followed with a two-run single to give the Eagles its first lead of the game.

Moments later, Cowell helped her own cause with an RBI single before Isabella Hulsey delivered a two-run single to extend the lead. Sage Adams capped the rally with an RBI single, pushing the advantage to 7-2.

Schreiner answered with a run in the bottom half of the inning, but Ozarks added an insurance run in the seventh when Emma Reynolds tripled to center field to score Grace Price and make it 8-3.

Cowell (11-5) earned the complete-game victory, allowing three runs on nine hits while walking two. She kept Schreiner from mounting any significant threat after the sixth inning.

The Eagles finished with 12 hits in the contest. Adams led the way with two hits and an RBI, while Reynolds added two hits, including a triple. Lynch and Hulsey each drove in multiple runs to pace the offensive outburst.
