CLAREMORE, Okla. - Trailing 3-0 after three innings in game two of Tuesday's doubleheader, No. 14 Oklahoma Christian scored four unanswered to defeat No. 13 Rogers State, 4-3, evening the day's pair of games after falling in the first matchup, 6-1.
Including today, four of the last six meetings between the Eagles and the Hillcats have been decided in extra innings.
For the second time in four days,
Kadence Brewster recorded a game-winning home run, with Tuesday's coming in the top of the eighth inning before
Ella Resendiz shut down the Hillcats in the bottom half of the frame for her third save of the season.
Payten Schibbelhute (1-0) earned her first win of the season after going 4.1 innings in relief, holding RSU scoreless while allowing four hits. At the plate, Ka. Brewster, in addition to her game-winning home run, finished the day going 3-for-7 with two RBI, two runs scored and a walk.
Maci George (3-for-6) reached base safely five times in the two games with three hits and two walks.
No. 14 Oklahoma Christian (10-2, 2-0 LSC) will take its first road trip of conference play this weekend beginning with No. 5 West Texas A&M Friday, Feb. 20 at 4 and 6 p.m. in what will be OC's fifth and sixth game against an NFCA top-15 team this season.
Game One: No. 13 Rogers State 6, No. 14 Oklahoma Christian 1
George led off the in-state top-15 showdown with a double, but the Eagles did not see another hit until the fourth inning as Rogers State opened a 2-0 lead at that point. Oklahoma Christian cut that lead in half in the top of the fifth off a Ka. Brewster two-out RBI single.
The Hillcats responded in the home-half of the fifth with a three-run home run to open a 5-1 lead. Two more hits came the Eagles' way before RSU took game one with the eventual 6-1 victory.
Game Two: No. 14 Oklahoma Christian 4, No. 13 Rogers State 3 (8 inn.)
Once again, George got play started with a lead-off hit. But once again, OC was held hitless from that point until the fourth inning. This go around, however, after RSU opened an early 3-0 lead, OC plated two runs on just one hit in the fourth to come within one of the Hillcats, 3-2.
In the bottom of the fourth, Schibbelhute came to the circle to pitch 4.1 scoreless innings while forcing Rogers to strand four base runners during her time on the rubber. With the Piedmont, Okla., native holding the Hillcats at bay, the Brewster twins recorded the final two RBI for the maroon-and-gray, starting with
Kiley Brewster hitting the game-tying two-out RBI single in the top of the fifth.
With the score still tied after seven, Ka. Brewster echoed Kiley's top-of-the-fifth two-out clutch hitting with her own two-out magic in the eighth, with this one being sent over the wall for the go-ahead run, 4-3. Now with just three outs to work with, Rogers filled first and second base in its first three batters, forcing head coach
Shalee Rodriguez and pitching coach
Bailey McKittrick to go to their bullpen.
Resendiz, who had pitched the final two innings of game one, still had 10 pitches in her, which is all it took to get the final two Hillcats out. With runners on first and second and one out, the true freshman struck out the two batters she faced, giving OC its third top-15 win of the 2026 campaign.
