CLAREMORE, Okla. (April 9, 2009) – Oklahoma Christian dropped a soggy pair of games at Rogers State University (Okla.) Thursday. The Lady Eagles lost the first game 10-6 and the second 5-3.

Oklahoma Christian and Rogers State fought off rain, wind and a two and a half hour delay to get both games in. The Lady Eagles are now 23-14 on the season and 7-7 in Sooner Athletic Conference play.

Game One

The Lady Eagles gave up three runs in the first inning, but answered back with three runs of their own in the top of the second.

Tracy Washam got things going with a single up the middle. After a Tiffany Sherman single, Cara Miller drove in Washam with another base hit. Sherman then scored on an RSU error to make the score 3-2 before Miller tied it 3-3 on an RSU wild pitch.

In the bottom of the sixth, after RSU (23-15, 6-10 SAC) plated three more runs, the Lady Eagles cut into the lead when Casey Brady scored on a Miller groundout to make the score 6-4.

The Lady Eagles cut into the lead again in the top of the seventh with a two-out rally.

Christin Dobbs singled and advanced to second on a wild pitch to start things off. After an Amy
Urbanovsky walk, Brady singled to load the bases. Washam then came through with a single to drive in Dobbs. Urbanovsky scored the tying run on another RSU miscue to lock it at 6-6.

The tie didn't last long though. In the bottom of the seventh, after loading the bases, RSU's Allison Bean hit a walkoff grand slam to end the game with RSU ahead 10-6.
