Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 ODESSA, Texas (April 8, 2016) – Since Oklahoma Christian joined the Heartland Conference with the 2013 baseball season, Texas-Permian Basin had consistently frustrated the Eagles, including sweeping two straight season series and winning all six of those games by either one or two runs.

Brennan Walker and Dylan Fazekas made sure that wouldn't happen again in 2016. Walker pitched a complete-game shutout and Fazekas followed by allowing only four hits in a six-inning starting stint as OC swept the Falcons 3-0 and 8-1 on Friday at Roden Field.

OC (19-15, 9-5 Heartland) not only improved to 3-7 all-time against UTPB (11-25, 3-11), the Eagles also moved into third place in the ultra-tight league standings, one game behind co-leaders St. Edward's (Texas) and Lubbock Christian (Texas) and one game ahead of Newman (Kan.) and St. Mary's (Texas).

Three other teams are 7-7 in league play. Four teams will qualify for the league's postseason tournament.

Walker (5-1) moved into the No. 1 spot in OC's weekend rotation for the first time, produced the second complete game of his career and allowed only six hits, only one of those for extra bases. He didn't walk anyone and struck out three batters as the Falcons advanced only one runner as far as third base.

Walker outdueled UTPB's Donald Wanner (2-4), who also threw a complete game. But the Eagles touched Wanner for two runs in the first inning and one in the third.

In the first, Jake Baxter's two-out single scored Derek Jones, who had reached on an infield single. Baxter took second on a passed ball and scored on Kyle Lacy's single through the left side of the infield. Lacy recorded another RBI in the third, singling home Robert Rosser, who had walked.

The second game started like the first, with the Eagles scoring two runs in the top of the first inning. Jake Baxter's RBI double off UTPB starter Jake Albert (1-4) was the big blow, and Baxter later scored on a groundout by Lacy.

Fazekas (2-3), making only his second start of the season, gave up a two-out RBI triple to Tyler Houlihan in the third inning, which pulled the Falcons within 2-1, but that was their only major threat against the junior right-hander.

The Eagles blew the game open with a four-run fifth against Albert. RBI singles by Ben McKenzie and Lane Paul were sandwiched around a two-run double by Jared Sterling. OC added a pair of insurance runs in the ninth on run-scoring singles by Rosser and Lacy.

OC will go for the series sweep over UTPB on Saturday at noon.
