LAKE CHARLES, La. _ Righthander Ryan Angus threw a complete game seven-hitter and the University of Central Arkansas Bears scored all their runs in the eighth inning in a 4-2 victory over the McNeese State Cowboys on Saturday at Cowboy Diamond.

McNeese starter Matt Click (2-3) held the Bears in check for seven innings, allowing just three hits and no runs. But the Bears sent nine batters to the plate and turned four hits into four runs.

Jake Fuller started the rally with a double down the left-field line and Greg Noble knocked him in with a base hit to left field. Zack Dickson’s sacrifice bunt moved Noble to second and a ground out sent him to third. Ethan Harris drew a walk before freshman Jonathan Davis doubled down the left-field line for an RBI. Harris made it 3-2, scoring on a wild pitch, before Jonathan Houston double to score Davis.

The Cowboys (14-14, 5-6) got a leadoff single in the eighth off Angus but he got the next three outs in order. The Bears threatened in the night, putting two runners on base, but stranded both. Angus then sandwiched a walk around the final three outs in the ninth for the victory.
