Shawnee, Okla. -- The Mid-America Christian University Lady Evangels split a doubleheader at the Oklahoma Baptist University Lady Bison by winning 7-2 in the nightcap tonight (Apr. 19) at Lady Bison Park in Shawnee, Okla.  The day started with the Lady Evangels finishing off a 9-5 victory in a game suspended from Mar. 31. 

The suspended game picked up 2-2 in the second inning and was still knotted at 5-5 until Mykah Smith hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning to give the Lady Evangels the lead for good. Taryn Callender had an RBI single in the inning and then singled home another run in the sixth to put it away.  

OBU then jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the opening game of the twinbill and got two RBI each from Carrie Abrams and Harlee Griffis in a 9-4 win. 

Cassidy Hart drove in three runs in the loss for the Lady Evangels on a three-run double in the fifth inning. 

Macie Crites pitched six shutout frames in the second game win for MACU, striking out four and allowing only three hits. 

The offense came in the form of a two-run homer by Natalie Bissell and three RBI from Jackie Hilterbran. 

Hilterbran singled home McCoy to snap a scoreless tie in the third and then drove home two more runs in a three-run fourth inning.  McCoy started the scoring by driving in pinch runner Kenzie Smith. 

Bissell's two-run blast came in the sixth that made it a 7-0 lead for MACU (22-12, 10-8 SAC).
