BEARS FALL 7-5 TO GOLDEN EAGLES



CONWAY, Ark. _ The University of Central Arkansas Bears got their leadoff batter on base seven times Tuesday night but could not produce enough runs in a 7-5 loss to the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles at Bear Stadium.

UCA (5-10) fell behind 6-2 after five innings, rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh to get within 6-5. But the Golden Eagles (11-5) added one more run in the eighth and their closer Cade Denton worked around a Kolby Johnson infield single to end it.

UCA junior catcher Noah Argenta had a day at the plate, going 3 for 4 with a pair of doubles and a run scored. Johnson, junior right fielder, finished 3 for 5 and scored a run.

In the three-run seventh, Argenta started it with a base hit to left center and went to second on Johnson's single to center. A.J. Mendolia was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Argenta scored on a wild pitch and sophomore right fielder Dylan Cyr picked up his first career hit and RBIs, bringing in both Mendolia and Johnson.

UCA starter Cade Fenton, in his first career start, went 3 1/3 innings, allowing three earned runs. ORU reliever Jakob Hall earned the victory after starter Brooks Fowler exited after four innings. Denton picked up his second save of the season.

The Bears open their first season of ASUN Conference play on Friday in Louisville, Ky., taking on the Bellarmine Knights at 1 p.m. (CT).
