NATCHITOCHES— Jeffery Enloe's 11-inning pitching performance coupled with a run in the second and 11th innings gave Central Arkansas a 2-1 win over the Northwestern State baseball team Saturday afternoon in Southland Conference action. 

The rubber match is set for Sunday at 1 o'clock in Brown-Stroud Field.

Michael Marietta reached on hit-by-pitch in the second inning and advanced to second base on a steal.  He reached third and scored on two separate wild pitches from Ashton Sivigliano, who got the starting nod for NSU.

The go-ahead run came on a single to right field from Brent Marchal that scored Marietta from second base.  Marietta reached leadoff single to right field and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt from Chris Townsend. 

The Demons forced the game into extra innings after Will Watson hit a one-out single through the left side in the eighth to score Edwin Gomez from third base.  Gomez reached on a single through the right side, took second on a stolen base, and got to third on an error by the catcher in the throw to second.
