FORT SMITH, Ark. (April 24) -- Too little offense and too many errors spelled Central Oklahoma's demise here Tuesday night as the Bronchos fell to Arkansas-Fort Smith 10-2.

UCO, which ranks among the NCAA Division II national leaders in several offensive categories, was limited to six hits and also committed four fielding miscues in suffering just their second loss in the last 10 outings.

The Bronchos, now 30-15, return home to host Mid-America Christian at 3 p.m. Wednesday in a game originally scheduled for Monday. UCO then goes to Rogers State Thursday night before ending the season Saturday with a 2 p.m.home game against Oklahoma City.

UAFS took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, but the Bronchos got that back in the second when Austin Rycroft led off with his 18th home run of the season.

The Lions came back with another run in their half of the second before UCO tied it again in the top of the third when Tucker Brown singled, stole second and scored on Kevin Blue's two-out single.

UAFS took the lead for good with a three-run outburst in the fourth and then broke the game open with five unearned runs in the fifth.

Blue had two of UCO's six hits.
