The Eagles scored the game's first runs in the fifth inning when Anthony Brandon reached on a single and Justin Brown walked to give Ozarks a runner in scoring position with only one out. Brian Heckmann then ripped a single to score both Brandon and Brown and give the Eagles a 2-0 lead. Ozarks would tack on two more runs in the next inning of play after Bret Hays and Clint Phifer crossed the plate. The Eagles final score would come on a Hays single that scored Rusty Farrin. The Eagles pitching combination of Justin Dixon and Trevor Holbert held Hendrix to a combined five hits. Holbert (2-1) received the win after facing 22 batters and striking out four. Heckmann led the Eagles with two RBI and Brandon had a team-best two hits. Ozarks will host Louisiana College on Friday and Saturday in American Southwest Conference action.
