The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff scored a pair of runs in each of the first two innings to run past Grambling State and take the opener of their three-game series at the Torii Hunter Complex in Pine Bluff.
Amari Broughton drove in three runs, including the first one off a single in the first inning, for UAPB (13-12, 4-2 Southwestern Athletic Conference), which won for the seventh time in eight games. Kaitlyn Neely added a run-scoring single three batters later to give the Golden Lions a 2-0 lead.
Broughton pushed across two more runs in the second inning to increase UAPB's lead to 4-0 before Grambling State (10-19, 2-7) avoided the shutout in the top of the sixth when Kamryn Broussard scored when Sherrell Matthews was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
