Hagood, Upton shine in circle as OC sweeps Fort Hays State

Sheridan Bond delivered the winning RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning on Tuesday in game one against Fort Hays State.
Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 OKLAHOMA CITY (April 12, 2016) – Madison Hagood and Kaylie Upton each posted a quality pitching performance, while Sheridan Bond and Bridget White provided dramatic hits for Oklahoma Christian during a doubleheader sweep on Tuesday against visiting Fort Hays State (Kan.).

Bond's bases-loaded RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning complemented Hagood's four-hit shutout and lifted OC to a 1-0 win in the opener, while Upton went the distance and White hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning to seal a 5-2 win in the second game at Tom Heath Field.

OC (21-23) has won four straight games heading into its final home series of the season on Friday and Saturday against Heartland Conference rival Rogers State.

Hagood (13-9) recorded her ninth complete game and fourth shutout of the season, never allowing a Fort Hays State baserunner to advance to third base. Fort Hays State starter Paxton Duran (12-17) also kept the Lady Eagles off balance, though, striking out eight batters and retiring eight in a row during one stretch.

But OC finally broke through in the seventh. Kayla Eicher led off with a single to left field. White laid down a sacrifice bunt attempt and the Tigers tried to throw out Eichler at second base, but weren't successful. Pinch-hitter Jordan Chism drew a walk to load the bases, still with no outs.

Avery Walker hit into a fielder's choice, forcing out Eichler at home, but Bond followed with a clean single up the middle to score White and end the game.

Fort Hays State (17-28) took a 2-1 lead in the second game, taking advantage of a pair of OC errors, but that was all the Tigers could manage against Upton (6-4), who scattered five hits and didn't allow an earned run.

Madison Nordyke's RBI single to center field scored Bond in the fifth, tying the game at 2-2, and Nordyke scored the tiebreaking run as Haley Squier reached on an error. White's homer in the sixth off Fort Hays State pitcher Carrie Clarke (4-11) ended all doubt.
