Leathernecks Outhit ORU in 3-1 Decision

The Leathernecks outhit ORU, 8-7, but dropped the ballgame, 3-1.

TULSA, Okla. - Though the Western Illinois baseball team outhit Oral Roberts, 8-7, Saturday at J.L. Johnson Stadium, extra-base hits helped the Golden Eagles take game two of the series, 3-1. 

A two-RBI triple allowed ORU to manage a 2-0 lead in the first inning and a leadoff double put it in position to score in the seventh. 

The Golden Eagles recorded three extra-base hits on the day but were mostly held in check by right-handed pitcher Javin Drake. He dealt 6.2 innings and allowed seven hits while fanning eight. 

Freshman Jordan Mikel finished the game for Western, tasked with a bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the seventh but escaped the inning with a strikeout. He waved three of the six batters he faced. 

The Leathernecks' lone run occurred in the seventh inning on an RBI-single by Deion Thompson. Johnathan Fleek and Steve McShane paced the team with two hits apiece. 

Western will conclude the series at Oral Roberts Sunday at 1 p.m.
