CONWAY -- On a night in which the University of Central Arkansas committed three errors and allowed two unearned runs, the Bears needed help from their bats Tuesday night.
Assistance arrived in a three-run seventh inning highlighted by R.J. Pearson's go-ahead, two-run single off Arkansas State University reliever Josh Albat (0-1), launching the Bears to a 5-3 victory at Bear Stadium.
Pearson's second and third RBI of the game handed UCA closer Tyler Cleveland a two-run lead, and the freshman struck out four batters over a scoreless final two innings to bring the team's four-game losing streak to a close.
