The University of Arkansas at Little Rock baseball team were primed to be swept at Auburn last weekend, when the Trojans dropped the first two games of their series at Plainsman Park and trailed the Tigers 4-1 through four innings on Sunday.
The tide turned in the fifth when senior Kenny Rodriguez tallied his first career hit with a grand slam that put the Trojans ahead 5-4, kicking off 11 unanswered runs that carried UALR to a 12-6 victory. Sophomore Tyler Williams drove in four runs, and graduate transfer Aaron Barkely tossed 4 2/3 innings in relief with the lead to send UALR into this weekend's Sun Belt Conference opener against Texas State with a win.
