In the annual Southern
Arkansas University Alumni baseball game Sunday, the current Muleriders
defeated a team composed of recent alumni 10-1. Jeremy McComic picked up the
win for the 2001 team by hurling two shutout innings after replacing starter
Brandon Buford in the fifth inning.
Former pitcher Tom
Sawyer took the loss for the alumni team. The alumni were led by outfielder
Jonathan Orr, who homered off Buford in the first inning. The current ‘Riders
were paced by outfielder Dave Poulin, who hit an opposite field home run off
the scoreboard, and Justin Durmon, who had a bases-loaded triple.
