Game One Overview
Clarksville, Ark.-McMurry University won game three 9-7 to win the series againist the Eagles. Trailing 5-0, the Eagles rallied in the third with back-to-back RBI doubles from Isaac Price and Jackson Baker. Dru Didway then received an RBI on a grounder to third base to trim the deficit to 5-3. The Eagles loaded the bases in the fourth with one out and scratched across one run to move within 5-4. In the fifth, McMurry loaded the bases with two outs, but Jake Estrada got the third out with an infield pop out. In the bottom of the fourth, the Eagles loaded the bases with two outs, but came up empty. In the sixth, the War Hawks added two runs to make it 7-4. In the sixth, Didway drove in Baker for the Eagles fifth run. McMurry then got back-to-back outstanding defensive plays - a diving catch by the right fielder and a diving stop from the second baseman - to keep the Eagles from scoring any more runs. After McMurry scored twice in the seventh, the Eagles got base runners again only to strand both. The Eagles once again got runners this time in the eighth inning. With the bases loaded with one out, Taber Childs drew a walk to make it 9-6. Josh Ropple recorded a sacrifice fly to score one. But that would be it for the Eagles. Baker, Didway, Munoz and Cagle had two hits apiece. Didway drove in two runs.
