Eagles blast to doubleheader sweep at St. Mary’s

SAN ANTONIO (Feb. 6, 2022) – As they did most of last baseball season, the hits and runs are coming in bunches for Oklahoma Christian. But in 2022 – at least on the first weekend – the Eagles also are producing strong pitching performances, which would seem to bode well for OC's hopes of a successful campaign.

OC pitchers combined to allow St. Mary's (Texas) only eight hits in 14 innings on Sunday afternoon, and the Eagles' hitters continued to do their thing as OC swept the Rattlers 8-3 and 13-1 at Dickson Stadium.

The Eagles have outscored St. Mary's (0-3, 0-3 Lone Star Conference) by a 31-4 count during the first three games of the series, which will end with a nine-inning game on Monday. OC is the only LSC team to have started the season with three straight wins over a conference opponent.

In the opener, Preston King led off the game with a solo home run for OC (3-0, 3-0) and the Eagles tacked on three more runs in the third inning off St. Mary's starter Steven Medrano (0-1), with Blake Empkey's RBI double the big blow.

OC's starting pitcher, Andrew Alonzo (1-0), allowed only two hits in 4 1/3 innings. Both came in the fifth inning and one was a three-run homer by Easton Parrish that pulled St. Mary's within 4-3. But OC relievers Julien Ly, Ty Dudley and Matthew Shira combined to blank the Rattlers the rest of the way.

The Eagles quickly responded offensively to Parrish's homer, with King delivering a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth. OC tacked on three more insurance runs in the seventh on RBIs singles by Kevin Collyar, Grant Lake and Cole Lee.

OC jumped on the Rattlers' second-game starter, Clay Bradford (0-1), for six runs in the second inning and weren't challenged thereafter. Lee had a two-run single and Michael DiFiore added a two-run double during that outburst. Empkey had a two-run single during a three-run fourth inning for OC and Tanner White blasted a grand slam in the sixth, giving him five RBIs in the game.

OC reliever Jacob Mattox (1-0) picked up the pitching win with a perfect fourth inning. Starter Ryan Hill allowed only one hit and one run in three innings, Jayce Meyer threw two scoreless innings and Chris Huerta pitched a scoreless seventh inning.
