Box Score OKLAHOMA CITY (April 18, 2017) – Solid pitching combined with timely hitting usually is a winning baseball formula and Oklahoma Christian received both on Tuesday afternoon against Southeastern Oklahoma State.

Kolton Brown threw six strong innings, Lane Paul drove in three runs and Luke Reynolds hit his third home run of the season, lifting the Eagles to a 6-3 win at Dobson Field.

The win completed a season sweep for OC (24-18) against Southeastern (14-22-1), as the Eagles beat the Savage Storm 15-9 in Durant on March 21. Southeastern is coached by Mike Metheny, who earlier this season set the NCAA Division II record for career coaching wins.

Brown (4-3) retired 12 straight Southeastern batters in one stretch and didn't surrender a run until the sixth inning. The hard-throwing right-hander from Yukon struck out six and walked only two.

Meanwhile, OC chipped away against Southeastern starter Tristen Wood (0-4) and a bevy of Savage Storm relievers, scoring in each of the first four innings. Paul's RBI single in the first scored Hayden Strobel, who had drawn a leadoff walk, and Paul added a two-out, two-run single in the second to score Reynolds and Strobel, each of whom had walked.

Reynolds hit a solo shot over the left-field wall in the third inning off Southeastern reliever Jake Patterson, making it 4-0, and in the fourth, Chad Kennedy's bloop single to right scored Strobel, who had drawn his third straight walk.

Brett Akins' single up the middle in the top of the sixth scored Cade Clay to put Southeastern on the board, but Jake Baxter answered in the bottom of the inning with a run-scoring bloop single to left field that extended the Eagles' lead to 6-1.

A solo home run by Brandon Wolski and an RBI single up the middle by Hunter Harrison pulled Southeastern within 6-3 in the seventh, but OC reliever Matthew Fusselman tossed a perfect eighth inning and Jared Price did the same in the ninth for the Eagles to record his first career save.

OC will host Arkansas-Fort Smith this weekend in what shapes up as a huge Heartland Conference series. As of Tuesday, the teams were scheduled to play a doubleheader at 3 p.m. Friday and a single game at noon on Saturday, but OC coach Lonny Cobble said the game times and dates could be changed Wednesday, depending on the weather forecasts.
