MONTICELLO, Ark. – SWOSU Baseball could not get its offense going in game three, falling to Arkansas-Monticello 12-2 in a run-rule shortened contest.
 
The loss gives UAM a sweep of the series and drops the Bulldogs to 14-13 overall and 6-9 in GAC play.
 
Rusty Wortman accounted for both SWOSU runs on the day. He tied the game at 1-1 with a solo home run in the second inning and later singled home another run with two outs in the sixth before being thrown out attempting to stretch the hit into a double.
 
All four Bulldog pitchers who appeared allowed runs. Arkansas-Monticello finished with 10 hits and capitalized on nine walks and two hit-by-pitches issued by SWOSU arms.
 
Tied 1-1 after Wortman's homer in the top of the second, the Weevils regained the lead for good with a four-run bottom half of the inning. UAM added seven more runs across the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings to push the game into run-rule territory.
 
SWOSU does not have a midweek game this week and will return home to host Southern Arkansas next weekend in continued conference play. The series is scheduled to begin Friday, March 20.
