Isiah Gilliam had a three-hit game for Arkansas including his 20th home run of the season while Spencer Packard contributed another two hits.

Moments That Mattered

* Jack Winkler hit a two-run game-tying triple in the seventh. Sahid Valenzuela then followed with a two-run home run to put Midland on top.
