Today marks the last day of the Astros' Houston Winter Invitational collegiate baseball classic. If you haven't already attended any of the events at Daikin Park, this is the last time to do so. Today’s first match up was Arkansas-Monticello versus Ashland University which resulted in Arkansas-Monticello (6) defeating Ashland University (5). By the 5th inning, both teams were tied with three runs each with Ashland University getting their first run during the top of the first inning and their other 2 runs during the top of the 5th inning. Arkansas-Monticello scored all three of their runs during the bottom of the 3rd inning.
