Clarksville, Ark.-In one of the longest games in program history, Ozarks scored five runs with two outs in the top of the fifteenth inning to secure a 10-5 win Tuesday against Ecclesia College.

Ozarks (14-23) used five pitchers in a contest that lasted four hours and 35 minutes.  Ozarks evened the score 5-5 in the eighth, but neither team would score until the fifteenth. Dylan McLemore (1-0) pitched the final four and two-third innings to receive the win. Only three extra base hits were recorded in the game all coming from doubles. Five players had seven or more at-bats for Ozarks, with freshman short stop Fielder Dufrene finishing 5-for-8 with two RBI. Senior outfielder Caleb Hemphill went 2-for-4 with four walks.
    
Jordan Jones ripped a two-run single in the second to give the Eagles a 3-1 lead. Ecclesia (24-22) responded with three runs in the bottom of the second to take the lead back, 4-3. Ozarks scored once in the fifth to even the score again, but Ecclesia added a run in the seventh to make it 5-4. Justin Crider posted an RBI single in the eighth to tie the contest. From there, both teams would strand a number of runners before Ozarks rallied in the top of the fifteenth. Ecclesia forced back-to-back outs to open the fifteenth, but Grady Finley sparked the offense with a single. Zac Jones followed with another single, and Jacob Barker did the same. But on Barker's single, Ecclesia centerfielder Joey Dawes committed an error to allow Finley to finally break the 5-5 score. Dufrene added another RBI single. With two runners on bases, Hemphill recorded a single up the middle that Dawes again misplayed allowing Dufrene, Barker and Hemphill to score.
    
McLemore then retired the side in the bottom of the fifteenth.

Ozarks will travel to Abilene, Texas, to face McMurry University April 29-30.
