EDMOND, Okla. - 11 of the first 13 runs came from West Texas A&M as Oklahoma Christian was unable to climb out of the early home, giving WT the series-opening 13-5 victory.

Jontae Hennesy and Sload Laird each claimed two hits while Michael Adair reached base safely three times with a hit and two walks. David Brown saw his longest outing of the season after pitching the final four innings, earning the no-decision after allowing just two runs on two hits while recording four strikeouts.

How it happened

• After a three-up, three-down first inning on both sides, Oklahoma Christian used a WT wild pitch to tie the Buffs, 1-1. 
• West Texas A&M opened the scoring with a seven-hit, seven-run third inning, which featured four doubles, to establish an 8-1 lead.
• Three more runs in the fourth for the Buffs were the final runs scored by the visitors until the ninth inning as OC cut into the deficit with four runs in the next two innings thanks to a three-run fourth frame.
• One more run in the fifth was the last dent OC could make into the Buffs lead as West Texas left Dobson Field with the 13-5 lead with two final runs in the ninth.
