No. 16 Eagles Take Down No. 3 Bronchos in Home Opener

Oklahoma City, Okla- No. 16 Oklahoma Christian (2-3) hosted their cross-town rivals, No. 3 University of Central Oklahoma (1-4), to kick off the UCO/OC Softball Festival. 

What went down 

To start the game, the Eagles gave the ball to Jill Dickson in the circle. In the Bronchos' first at-bat, they were able to grab the early one-run lead. 

This lead did not last long as sophomore Kadence Brewster stepped up as the lead-off batter and blasted a home run to tie the game up at one. 

The Bronchos got the lead back in the top of the third inning with a two-run double. 

Grace Anderson came in relief and shut down UCO, and the Eagles followed the spark brought by Anderson with a big offensive inning in the bottom of the fifth. With the bases loaded, Whitney Walde stepped up and knocked a three-run double to deep-left center. 

The Eagles, behind Anderson, shut down the Bronchos and got the big win to open up the OC/UCO softball festival.
