Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 OKLAHOMA CITY (April 2, 2016) – After an uncharacteristic home loss on Saturday afternoon against Eastern New Mexico, Oklahoma Christian buckled down and got serious in the second game of the softball doubleheader.

No one seemed more so than Madison Nordyke, who pitched a one-hit shutout and added two hits of her own as the Lady Eagles rolled to an 8-0 run-rule win in five innings, helping erase the shock of her team's 6-3, eight-inning loss to the Greyhounds in the opener at Tom Heath Field.

OC (16-21), playing at home for the first time since March 12, jumped to an early 3-0 lead in the opener, as Lacey Davidson hit a two-run triple to center field and scored on a sacrifice fly by Avery Walker in the second inning.

But the Lady Eagles left 11 runners on base – at least one in each inning – and Eastern New Mexico (11-31) rallied. Kyra Sirag and Marleyna Pinon each doubled during a three-run fourth inning for the Greyhounds that tied the game.

The game headed into extra innings and, because it was a nonconference game, the teams employed the international tiebreaker rule, which places a runner on second base to start the inning. Eastern New Mexico quickly took advantage against OC starter Madison Hagood (10-8), as two OC errors led to one run and a two-run double by Natasha KIssell scored two others.

Eastern New Mexico starter Kiana Zerr (3-9) retired the Lady Eagles in order in the bottom of the eighth to help the Greyhounds snap a 12-game losing streak. It was only OC's second home loss of the season in 11 games at Tom Heath Field to that point.

The second game was a much different story. Sheridan Bond led off the game with a home run off Kissell (2-16) and Kelsie Finch later delivered a two-run double that made it 3-0 in the first inning. RBI singles by Niki Davidson and Haley Squier in the second extended OC's lead to 5-0 and Bridget White tripled and scored in the third to make it 6-0.

Meanwhile, Nordyke (2-9) faced the minimum number of batters through three innings. She allowed only a second-inning single to Pinon, who was doubled off of first base after Nordyke speared a line drive by the next batter, Kissell, and threw to Finch to complete the double play.

The Greyhounds advanced only one runner as far as second base – that with two outs in the fifth inning – but Nordyke retired Simon Laurenz on a ground ball.

Niki Davidson's two-out, two-run single to right in the bottom of the fifthscored pinch-runners Jourdan Bruce and Alexus Vanlandingham to end the game.

OC will visit nonconference foe Texas Woman's for a Tuesday doubleheader before hosting St. Edward's (Texas) next Friday and Saturday in what is shaping up as a key Heartland Conference series.
