The Diamond Hornets played a pivotal 7A/6A conference contest against Little Rock Catholic last Friday, and were stuck in a deadlock tie going into extra innings before finally breaking the tie and winning the game 4-3 in the ninth inning.

Two days later, the team travelled to Siloam Springs for a 7A/6A double-header and took both games easily in 12-1 and 8-3 victories. The latter victory netted head coach Kirk Bock his 600th career victory. In their final game of the week, Bryant set out to attempt to even the score against the Wampus Cats, the only Arkansas team to beat the Diamond Hornets all season. Senior Zach Jackson pitched a complete game, striking out nine and only allowing one run. fter a clutch RBI from Junior Seth Tucker in the bottom of the sixth, Jackson was able to close out the final inning to win 2-1. The Diamond Hornets are now 25-2 on the season overall and are 3-1 against 7A opponents.
