Shawnee, Okla. -- The Oklahoma Baptist University Lady Bison swept the Mid-America Christian University Lady Evangels today (Apr. 16) by scores of 8-1 and then 8-0 in Shawnee, Okla.
MACU starter Amber Tinney held the Lady Bison scoreless through the first two innings of the opener, but was victimized by two errors that led directly to three runs in the third for OBU.
A two-run single by Kasey Maddox in the fourth gave the Lady Bison a five-run lead before Tinney chased home Amanda Stevenson with an RBI single in the top of the fifth to put the Lady Evangels on the board.
Dara Gray then hit a lead-off homer to help the Lady Bison put it away with a three-run bottom of the fifth.
Chianelle Flores lasted the full seven innings and allowed one run with six strikeouts to get the win for the Lady Bison.
Carson Osborne went 2-of-3 at the plate in the first game to lead the Lady Evangels.
In the nightcap, Noelle McDowell once again got the best of the Lady Evangels by throwing seven shutout innings on only two hits and striking out seven.
Kenna Self and LeNae Sanchez supplied McDowell with all the offense she would need by each hitting a two-run homer in a four-run fourth inning that blew open a 1-0 game.
Self then added a two-run double in the fifth inning to put it away.
Kelcie Wolf pitched well early for the Lady Evangels, allowing only one through the first three innings before running into trouble in the fourth.
The Lady Evangels will next play at Hillsdale College tomorrow afternoon (Apr. 17) at 1 p.m. in Moore, Okla.
