CARY, N.C. – Behind consensus first team All-American and National Pitcher of the Year Jeremy Adorno's eighth complete game effort of the season and an early three-run blast by junior Conner Allen, sixth-year head coach Justin Pettigrew's (2) Southern Arkansas club claimed a 3-1 win over (6) Rollins in the opening game of the NCAA Division II Baseball Championship on Saturday afternoon from beautiful Coleman Field inside the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina. The Muleriders (47-11) run its win streak to ten games and the victory is the first for the program in a national postseason tournament since legendary head coach Steve Goodheart's Muleriders survived Grand Canyon 23-22 in the 1987 NAIA World Series. Southern Arkansas awaits the winner of Saturday's second game between (2) Point Loma and (7) Illinois-Springfield on Monday at 6 p.m. EDT.
