CONWAY, Ark. _ The University of Central Arkansas Bears could not pull off the sweep Sunday, falling to the Lipscomb Bisons 3-0 in their ASUN series finale at Bear Stadium.

UCA (9-13), which won both Friday and Saturday to take their second league series in as many weekends, managed only six hits and left 12 runners on base against a trio of Lipscomb pitchers. 

The Bears loaded the bases in the ninth inning against reliever Trey Nordmann on a pinch hit single by Dylan Cyr, a hit by pitch for Noah Cameron and a base hit up the middle by right fielder Kolby Johnson. But Nordmann earned his third save of the season with a strike out and foul pop up to end the game.

UCA's six hits came from six different players, including Johnson, Cyr, Conner Emmet, Hunter Hicks, Reid Bowman and R.J. Pearson. Lipscomb pitchers also hit six batters, including Hicks twice. But the Bears went from the third through the eighth innings without a hit and could not pull off the comeback.

The Bears stand at 4-2 in their first year in ASUN play. UCA plays in-state rival Arkansas State at 6 p.m.Tuesday in Jonesboro, before returning to conference action at North Alabama in Florence, Ala., on the weekend.
