Geez, Grip....TheEagleman has seen HS fields better than this.......ORU needs to end this quickly with a run rule victory and move on to Game 2.....

Same here Eagleman. The only thing in this game worse than that field would be those WIU “announcers.”  I couldn’t take more than an inning of that low energy and I went back to Adam and the audio only feed.

Josh Cox with a solo blast to lead off the 7th - his fourth hit of the game.

Looks like a 12-nil run rule victory for ORU.....Cox with 4 hits/HR and 3 RBI and Coffey throws a 2 hit SO w/8 Ks....nice way to start a sunny day for the Good Guys.....time for a Golden Eagles SWEEP!!....

[theeagleman5]

Looks like the Home Team/WIU Players preparing the field for the Nightcap.....does that happen at JLJ also?....seems like the schools could have a few adult/student volunteers doing that kind of work.....

Heading to the 5th and ORU is up 3-2...tight game and Good Guys need the sweep....  vs 

[Texasgrip]

ORU pitches out of a bases-loaded jam allowing only one run to score. 4-3 good guys headed to the 7th. Let's hold on FTW!

[theeagleman5]

This 2nd game is a real battle....gonna probably go down to the wire.....bullpen has to come thru.....

With the sweep, ORU moves into first place in the Summit, with a HUGE series with NDSU looming next weekend at JLJ.

5 big games coming up. Two big nonconference games to bolster the resume and three with a chance to bury NDSU. Let's go Eagles!!!!

ORU now 21-12 (7-2)....Go Blue!
