#ORUBase Uses a Big Fourth Inning to Sweep Omaha

The Basics
Oral Roberts 5 – Omaha 3
Oral Roberts (15-8, 4-2) – Omaha (5-16, 0-6)
Location: Chapman Park (Tulsa, Oklahoma)

Win: Jack Hill (3-0), Loss: C.J. Hood (0-4), Save: Conner Floyd (5)
 
TULSA, OKLA—The Oral Roberts baseball team completed their second series sweep of the season behind a big fourth inning defeating Omaha 5-3 on Sunday afternoon. 
 
Keaton Campbell drove in two runs with a single driving in his 12th of the season and capped off a three RBI weekend.
 
Both offenses were quiet to start the series finale as Omaha and Oral Roberts were scoreless through three and a half innings.  Right-hander Jack Hill tossed 4.1 innings allowing five hits, two runs, two walks, and striking out two in his second start of the season.
 
The Golden Eagles broke the scoreless tie in the fourth with a four-run frame highlighted by Campbell's two runs single and a sacrifice fly from Martell Davis. 
 
In the fifth, the Mavericks responded with two runs of their own to cut the lead in half.  ORU wasted no time combatting those two runs as Makani Tanaka a solo homer, his second of the season, to extend the lead back to three.
 
Omaha would continue to fight with one more run coming across in the seventh.  After escaping a bases-loaded Golden Eagle threat in the bottom of the eighth the Mavericks would put two runners on with one out in the ninth.  However, Conner Floyd would work right around trouble and shut the door picking up his fifth save and securing a 5-3 win.
