MONTICELLO, Ark. - The University of Arkansas at Monticello softball team will travel to Arkadelphia on Friday to open a three-game Great American Conference series with The Reddies of Henderson State.

LAST MEETING
The Blossoms secured the series win going 2-1 over the Reddies in 2025. The Blossoms took game one 4-0, as Arkansas-Monticello was the only team to add digits to the scoreboard doing so in the fourth and fifth innings. Jadyn Hart kicked off the scoring after advancing home from an Ashlynne Vote sacrifice fly in the fourth. The final three runs of the night came in the fifth inning. Dacia Sexton singled and plated Lainey Tippen, Maddie Pfleging ran home via a fielder's choice, and Aubree Goodnight scored off an HSU wild pitch, allowing UAM to take the game, 4-0. Jadyn Barger recorded the win in the circle for the Blossoms. UAM spilt the doubleheader going, 4-8, and 5-3. In game two Henderson placed four runs on the board in the top of the first, a double to centerfield ran in one, while three Reddies crossed from a home run to left field. The Blossoms tied it 4 all in the bottom of the fourth as Ashlynne Vote drove one over the right-center field wall to score four unearned runs by Jadyn Hart, Aubree Goodnight Jade Keaton, and herself. A bases-loaded walk in the fifth helped HSU retake the lead, 5-4. The Reddies would seal game two with a three-run home run to take the game, 8-4. In the final game of the series, Aubree Goodnight kicked things off for Arkansas-Monticello as she singled through right field to score Ashlynne Vote in the bottom of the second. The Blossoms entered three more runs in the third as Jadyn Hart doubled down the left-field line to drive in Dacia Sexton. Maddie Pfleging would score off Vote's ground out, and Hart would advance home off a double from Goodnight. The Reddies would start to cut into the Blossoms lead with a double down the left field line in the fourth to score a run, making it 4-1. Makenzie Martin was called in to pinch hit and drove a ball over the centerfield wall to make it 5-1 Blossoms in the fourth. Henderson would score the remaining runs of the ball game in the top of the fifth as two runs would be brought in off a double to center field. UAM would take the final game, 5-3, and the series 2-1. Jaydn Barger recorded the win, with Makenzie Martin clinching the save inside the circle.
