Oklahoma City, Okla. - Oklahoma Christian resumed conference play today with the series opener against the West Texas A&M Buffs at Dobson Field.
 
West Texas jumped out to an early lead, putting up four runs in the first inning due to some early pitching struggles by the Eagles. Nathan Kwan made an early appearance and was able to shut down the Buffs' early attack.
 
In an effort to get the Eagles rolling, Hunter Jones and Chance Westervelt led off the bottom of the second with back-to-back singles. The two then went on to score on RBIs by Grant Lake and Jaren Hill.
 
With consecutive 3-run innings in the 4th and the 5th, the Buffs would put together a lead that the Eagles were unable to overcome.
 
The Eagles went toe-to-toe with the Buffs behind the plate recording 11 hits to their 12, as each batter for the Eagles recorded a hit.
 
John Skweres shined in the 7th and 8th inning by not allowing a hit and striking out four of the seven batters he faced.
