Shawnee, Okla. -- The Mid-America Christian Evangels held a 6-5 lead heading into the bottom of the fifth, but the Oklahoma Baptist Bison exploded for six runs and went on to a 14-6 win Friday evening (Mar. 11) in Shawnee, Okla. 

The Evangels got off to a good start as Eridani Dume hit a lead-off homer and a two-run single by Emmanuel Jiminian and an RBI single by Jon Jon Lemos gave them a 4-0 lead after a half inning. 

A two-run homer in the bottom of the first by Alan Trayler made it a two-run game, but the Evangels answered back in the second on an RBI single by Luis Martinez that plated Joe Moore.

The Evangels still had a one-run lead when Reece Alnas singled home two runs to key the six-run fifth inning that allowed the Bison to pull away to an 11-6 lead. 

Kyle Brule pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings to pick up the win for OBU. 

Martinez, Lemos, Moore and David Rhoads each had two hits on the day for MACU.
