The University of Central Arkansas Bears dominated the Bellarmine Knights in their ASUN series opener, securing a 10-5 victory after scoring five runs in the top of the ninth inning. Freshman pitcher Aden Velasquez played a crucial role in the win, pitching 4.1 innings of no-hit, no-run ball and striking out four for his second win of the season.
The Bears broke a 5-5 tie in the ninth inning when designated hitter Preston Curtis reached on an error and first baseman Jagger Schattle followed with a double. A series of intentional walks and an error by the Knights allowed the Bears to take the lead and ultimately secure the win.
Senior catcher Shipley had a standout performance, going 3 for 4 with 2 RBI. Third baseman Keon Moseni contributed with 2 RBI and 2 runs scored. The Bears finished with a total of 10 hits in the game.
Game 2 of the series is set for 2 p.m. (CST) on Saturday. The Bears have now won six of their last seven ASUN games, showing their strength as they continue through the season. This victory sets a positive tone for the team as they aim to continue their winning streak in upcoming games.
