Jacksonville jumps on UCA early in rout

CONWAY -- University of Central Arkansas baseball Coach Nick Harlan is hoping for a complete reset after Friday's game against Jacksonville.

The ASUN leader came to Bear Stadium and scored three runs in the first inning, eight in the first three and capped off a 15-1 run-rule win in seven innings with a grand slam to take the second game of its series with UCA.

It wasn't the Bears' day from the first pitch as 12 of the first 13 from starting pitcher Payton Windham were outside the strike zone to load the bases.

"We just didn't get off to a good start on the mound," Harlan said. "Sometimes, you know, that's baseball. You miss a couple calls early and you can't find the zone, and it kind of gets magnified and then, you know, and it just gets a little bit overwhelming."
