The right-hander did not allow a base runner in three different innings Friday afternoon.
Combining for nine hits, Arkansas took advantage of a four-run fifth inning to put pressure on SEMO after scoring just one run through the game’s first four frames.
Game 2

Herron impressed after surrendering just one earned run on three hits across seven innings while ringing up four. The southpaw worked around five walks.
Offensively, Arkansas strung together nine hits, including three homers. Freshman Kennedy Miller was dynamite at the plate and recorded her first career multi-home run outing after blemishing two home runs against the Owls. Miller finished 2-for-3 with two runs scored and three RBIs. Rounding out Arkansas’ home run count, Bri Ellis smoked a solo home run in the first. Hannah Camenzind finished a career-best 3-for-3, including her first career triple, with an RBI and run scored. Hannah Gammill also drove in a run on an RBI single in the third.
