Game One: Oklahoma Baptist 2, No. 25 Oklahoma Christian 1
McKenna Ingram got the starting call in the circle for the second time this season, allowing just two runs off four hits in four innings of work. The Eagle bats were unable to help her out, however, managing just three hits over during her stretch on the rubber.
Dickson continued to give OC's offense a chance, retiring nine of the 14 batters she faced, but the maroon-and-gray were unable to take advantage of runners in scoring position on two different occasions late in the game.
Game Two: No. 25 Oklahoma Christian 7, Fort Lewis 1
Dickson continued where she left off the previous game, holding Fort Lewis hitless during her four innings. This time, OC took full advantage, plating six runs on eight hits in just three frames.
Fort Lewis was able to break away from the potential combined no-hitter, scoring its first and only run of the game in the sixth inning before Resendiz gave the Eagles one final run in the home-half of the sixth off a lead-off double for the 7-1 final tally.
