The University of Arkansas at Little Rock and South Alabama battered each other in the muggy rain Friday night at Gary Hogan Field in a 13-9 Trojans' victory.
The first game of the three-game series had five lead changes, and Trojans junior pinch-hitter James Gann hit an RBI single in the eighth to give UALR a 10-9 lead.
The run total tied a season high for UALR (24-19, 13-8 Sun Belt Conference), and the Trojans remain atop the West Division standings.
"That was a 15-round, blow-for-blow knockdown," UALR Coach Chris Curry said.
