■ No. 13 Lions drop season finale to Mountaineers (UAFortSmith.edu)

Eastern Shortstop Jesse Santo crushed a two-out, grand slam off Lions starter Jordan Pratt of Harrison, Ark., as part of a five-run fourth inning that got Eastern within 12-6. Two costly two-out errors kept the fifth inning alive for the Mountaineers, and first baseman Stephen Hagen made the Lions pay with a grand slam off reliever Daniel McKinney of Spiro, Okla., to top off another five-run outburst.
