Alva, Okla. -- Trevor Long went 4-of-5 with five runs driven in to power the Northwestern Oklahoma State University Rangers to a doubleheader sweep of the Mid-America Christian University Evangels Monday afternoon (Apr. 16) at Myers Stadium in Alva, Okla.  The Rangers took game one 8-2 and then the second game 10-2.

The Rangers jumped on top of the opener with three runs in the second, but a two-run single by Joe Moore plated Justin Rivera and Shane Brinker in the third inning to bring the Evangels within a run. 

Long then helped the Rangers score three times in the bottom of the fourth with a two-run double that made it 6-2.  All three runs in the inning were unearned thanks to two errors. 

A two-run double by George Flores in the bottom of the sixth put the game away for the Rangers. 

Moore and Brinker were each 2-of-4 at the plate for the Evangels, while Ryan Rathbun started and pitched four innings, with six runs allowed but only three earned.

Clay Thomas got the win by lasting six innings and giving up two runs with four strikeouts. 

Camilo Baldelomar got the Rangers off to a good start in the nightcap by doubling home the game's first run in the bottom of the first and then scoring in both the second and third innings for a 3-0 lead. 

The Evangels got on the board in the fourth, only to have a two-run homer by Long and a three-run shot by Patrick Johnson, Jr. in the bottom of the fifth put the game away. 

An RBI single by Moore scored Kory Palmer in the sixth to finish the scoring for the Evangels. 

Moore continued his solid hitting with a 2-of-2 effort at the plate with a walk and RBI. 

Johnson, Jr. wound up 3-of-4 in the second game with four RBI for the Rangers.
