Weatherford, Okla. -- The Mid-America Christian Evangels hung tough on the road at the NCAA Division II Southwestern Oklahoma State Bulldogs, but SWOSU scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning to win 9-8 and complete a sweep of the Evangels Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 22) in Weatherford, Okla. 

RBI singles by Kevin Cantrell and Christian Wise gave the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead after the first inning of the nightcap. 

Eridani Dume helped the Evangels surge ahead with a two-run double in the third and then a two-run single as the Evangels led 5-3 in the fifth inning. 

The Bulldogs tied the score on a two-run homer by Edwin Mendoza in the bottom of the fifth and then scored three times in the bottom of the sixth for a three-run lead.

MACU responded as Luis Martinez capped a three-run seventh with an RBI single that plated Jeff Eubank that tied the score at 8-8. 

But the Bulldogs won it by manufacturing a run in the bottom of the inning as Andrew Yates drew a lead-off walk, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Max Wheeler and then scored with two out on a walk-off single by Jeremy Soliday. 

The Evangels were hurt by nine errors in the opener that led to seven unearned runs. 

But RBI singles from Trent Daniels, Jon Jon Lemos, Eubank and David Rhoads helped the Evangels take a 4-2 lead in third inning. 

Rhoads then tripled home Lemos in the fifth that gave MACU a three-run lead, but the Bulldogs answered with eight runs over the next two innings, including five unearned tallies to pull away for the win. 

Evangel starter Jose Flores lasted five innings, allowing five runs but none earned in the second game. 

The Evangels will now open up conference action by hosting Oklahoma Christian on Thursday afternoon (Feb. 24) at 1 p.m. at Evangel Field.
