Lions Drop Game To Mustangs

— Alex Arntfield pitched a three-hitter and helped himself at the plate with a double and a triple to drive in three runs to lead the McDonald County team to an 8-2 win over the Gravette Lions April 22.

McDonald County scored single runs in the second and third innings before breaking the game open with three runs in the fourth and fifth innings. Charlie Bridenstine matched Arntfield’s three RBIs, his coming on a runscoring double and a tworun homer.

Travis Eden’s two-run homer in the top of the sixth inning drove in both of the Lions’ runs. Eden had a single earlier in the game to account for two of Gravette’s three hits against the Mc-Donald County left-hander. Arntfield went the distance, striking out five while throwing just 71 pitches.
