Pitching Duel Ends in Walk-off for ORU

Ian Koch and Justin McGregor each yielded one run through eight innings of action before a walk-off home run in the 10th secured a 3-1 decision for the Golden Eagles.

TULSA, Okla. -  Fans at J.L. Johnson Stadium were treated to an extra-inning pitching duel in Sunday's series finale between the Western Illinois and Oral Roberts baseball teams. Ian Koch and Justin McGregor each yielded one run through eight innings of action before a walk-off home run in the 10th secured a 3-1 decision for the Golden Eagles. 

The outing marked back-to-back games where the Leathernecks outhit ORU but weren't able to use the extra opportunities to their advantage. Dillon Sears' RBI-single provided Western with a 1-0 lead in the sixth inning, and Oral Roberts evened the score with an RBI-ground out in the eighth. 

The visitors left eight on-base and were 2-for-10 in the game with runners in scoring position. 

Mitch Ellis went 3-for-5 at the plate, while Koch pitched a no-decision. He tossed eight innings with six hits, one unearned run, four walks and five strikeouts. 

The Leathernecks will return to action Wednesday with a 6:05 p.m. ballgame at Iowa.
