Lady Eagles Split with Baylor

Scoring in the top of the seventh Oklahoma Christian University defeated 19th ranked Baylor University 3-2 to earn a split in an intersectional double-header in Waco, Texas April 1. Baylor won the second game 10-3.

The OC victory also broke a 13-game winning streak for the Lady Bears, now 35-7. The Lady Eagles improved their record to 7-19.

With the score tied 2-2 in the seventh, the Lady Eagles used base hits by Tiffany Willis and lacey Botchlet, a sacrifice by Rachel Seeber and a Baylor error on Shawna Lenz' ground ball to score the game winner. Baylor threatened in the bottom of the seventh by loading the bases but OC's Stephanie Gault pitched her way out of trouble to earn her fourth win of the year against eight losses.

In the second game Baylor broke away with five runs in the second and added three more in the third. The Lady Eagles scored three runs in the third inning on three walks, two hit batters and a single by Lauren DeSoignie. Courtney Quine took the loss for the Lady Eagles. She is now 3-8.
