The Kangaroos are now 19-32 on the season and will host Southern Utah this weekend at Loyola Park.

Arkansas went up 5-0 in the bottom of the third and scored its final two runs in the fifth. Hartwig's solo home run came in the top of the sixth. The Kangaroos were able to post six hits but not able to convert any others in to runs.
