Oklahoma City, Okla. -- The Oklahoma Christian Lady Eagles used dominant pitching and a couple of productive fifth inning rallies to sweep the Mid-America Christian Lady Evangels by scores of 10-1 and 6-2 Tuesday afternoon (Mar. 22). 

Shanci Brown scored the first one of the game in the opener as the Lady Evangels broke out on top in the bottom of the first. 

The Lady Eagles tied the score in the third and jumped on top in the fourth on a solo homer by Michelle Miller. 

Miller then keyed an eight-run fifth inning by singling home two runs as the Lady Eagles busted the game wide open.

After surrendering an unearned run in the first, Leigh Leonard settled down and blanked the Lady Evangels the rest of the way and struck out eight. 

The nightcap was scoreless until the third when Sarah Peoples led off with a triple and scored the first run on a successful squeeze play by Deidre Chatigny. 

The Lady Eagles again broke through in the fifth with a pair of runs on an RBI single by Chatigny and a run-scoring double by Kayla Jennings. 

An RBI single by Peoples made it 4-0 until the Lady Evangels got on the board in the bottom of the inning on a single by Jill Wilbanks that scored Brown. 

But the Lady Eagles pulled away with two more tallies in the seventh for a five-run lead. 

The Lady Evangels plated one run in the bottom of the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Brown that scored Harley Harp. 

Kelcie Wolf pitched seven solid innings for the Lady Evangels in the second game, giving up four earned runs and striking out three. 

Kimberly Cusher also tossed a complete game for the Lady Eagles to pick up the win.  Cusher allowed two runs and struck out four. 

The Lady Evangels will next play at Northwestern Oklahoma State one week from today (Mar. 29) at 3 p.m. in Alva, Okla.
