OKLAHOMA CITY -- The No. 3-ranked Oklahoma City University Stars edged the Mid-America Christian University Evangels 4-2 today (Apr. 24) in Sooner Athletic Conference action at James Curtis Field. 

The Stars jumped on top with a run in the first and then plated two more in the third. 

Reggie Wilson doubled to lead off the inning and scored on an RBI single by J.J Bissell.  Bissell then scored the second run of the frame thanks to an error with two outs. 

The Evangels answered in the bottom of the inning when Daniel Thompson led off with a single and scored on an RBI double from Matt Cruz. 

Cruz then scored to make it 3-2 on a run-scoring single from Logan Glasgow. 

The Stars regained a two-run lead in the fourth inning without the benefit of a hit as Ryan Wright drew a lead-off walk, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on consecutive wild pitches. 

The Evangels (20-25-1, 5-16 SAC) out-hit the Stars 10-8, led by Thompson's 3-of-5 effort at the plate. Cruz and Glasgow each had two hits on the day. 

Martin Nolasco started for MACU and allowed three earned runs in 4 1/3 innings.  He struck out three and walked four.  

Zach Carley came in with one out in the fifth and wiggled out of a bases loaded and one out jam.  He ended up with 3 2/3 scoreless innings and allowed only one hit with three strikeouts. 

Wyatt Glasgow struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning. 

Carlos Chavez lasted five innings and gave up two runs and struck out to pick up the win for OCU (37-10, 18-2 SAC).  Grant Hamilton then followed Chavez out of the bullpen and blanked the Evangels over the final four innings with five strikeouts to pick up the save.
