OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (March 15, 2008) – No. 15 Wayland Baptist (Texas) scored five runs in the eighth inning Saturday on its way to a 14-6 win over Oklahoma Christian at Dobson Field.

The Eagles committed eight errors in falling to 10-12-1 overall and 3-12 in Sooner Athletic Conference play.

OC starter Tim Dodd (3-1) lost his first game of the season despite allowing just two earned runs in his five innings of work.

But three OC errors opened the door for four unearned runs in the top of the fourth that gave Wayland Baptist a 6-0 lead.

The Pioneers added a run in the fifth, but the Eagles answered with three runs in the bottom of the frame. Nick Hollrah led off with a single, advanced to third on Jordan Price's double, then scored on Ray Long's single.

Jeff Davis' fielder's choice plated Price, and Josh Balch drove in Ryan Harper (running for Davis) to give the Eagles life.

The Pioneers scored twice in the sixth before another Price double drove home Josh Henry in the home half of the inning to pull OC within 9-4.

But Wayland broke open the game in the eighth inning, scoring five runs on three-straight hits by Michael Prell, Vinny Biancamano and Brett Sheppard, and two errors.

Jason Kimzey (3-1) earned the win for the Pioneers, giving up three runs and six hits while striking out six in five innings. Long (3-for-4, two RBIs) and Price (2-for-4, two RBIs) led the Eagles at the plate.

Oklahoma Christian hosts Hastings (Neb.) at 2 p.m. Tuesday before heading to No. 4 Lubbock Christian (Texas) for a three-game set next Friday and Saturday.
