Springdale 10, Siloam Springs 2
Chelsea Baldwin didn't give up an earned run as Springdale cruised past Siloam Springs to claim a road win and sweep the season series.
Springdale (9-11, 2-7) allowed two unearned runs as Siloam tied the game 2-2 in the bottom of the first. But the Lady Bulldogs dominated the rest of the way as Baldwin limited the Lady Panthers to five hits while walking just three in the complete-game victory.
Sophomore leadoff hitter Chasidee Owens went 2-for-4 with an RBI and three runs scored for Springdale, which scored in each of the first five innings, including multiple runs in four of the frames.
Caitlynn Bradley, Ashley Farley and Destini Jones also had two hits, while Sydney McConnell drove in two runs. Springdale scored five unearned runs off four Siloam errors.
Morgan Curtis went 3-for-4 at the plate for Siloam.
Springdale will host Fayetteville today at 5 p.m.
