BATESVILLE, Arkansas - The Lyon College Scots baseball team had bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth inning, trailing 6-5, but failed to get a run across the plate against 22nd-ranked the East Texas Baptist University Tigers on Sunday afternoon at Fred Wann Field.

The Tigers came back to score three runs in the top of the ninth inning and take a 9-5 win in the three-game series finale.

The Scots (8-8) took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning when Walker Smith hit a sacrifice fly to left field that brought in Eli Marcotte.

In the bottom of the eighth, Braden Hendrix led off with an infield single. Smith was hit by a pitch and Andrew James struck out on a passed ball that allowed Hendrix and Smith to advance a base. Santiago tried a bunt, but popped out to the first baseman, then Swallow was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
