In a high-stakes, 11-inning marathon in Conway, the Scots secured a gritty 14-13 victory over the Warriors. The Scots' power was on full display early as
Ashton Compton led the charge, going 4-for-6 with a home run and a double.
Kooper McCoy proved equally lethal in the cleanup spot, racking up four hits—including three doubles—and driving in three crucial runs. The Scots turned the tide in a massive fifth inning, where McCoy's two-run double and
