Baseball Bisons Score Big in Game One, Drop Game Two in Saturday Doubleheader

SEARCY – Harding had no trouble at all scoring in game one but struggled in game two of a Great American Conference doubleheader split with Southwestern Oklahoma on Saturday at Jerry Moore Field.

Harding won the opener 16-5 in a 10-run rule shortened seven innings and fell 8-2 in the regularly scheduled seven-inning game. The teams conclude the series with a nine-inning game Sunday at 1 p.m.

The Bisons are now 18-7 overall and 8-6 in conference. Harding has a 16-3 home record. Southwestern is 12-12 overall and 7-7 in the GAC. At the end of play Saturday, was in fourth place in the GAC standings with Southwestern eighth.

Harding led 4-3 after three innings of game one and plated seven runs in the fourth to blow the game open. Coulton Doyle hit a grand slam, his fifth home run of the season in the inning, and Michael Dewald hit a three-run double off the center field wall.

Harding added four more in the fifth with Drew McNeel driving in two with a single to center.

Doyle went 2-for-3 with two walks, scored four runs for the first time in his career, and drove in four. Dewald also had four RBIs. Sebastian Martinez had two hits, scored three times and added two RBI.

Maddox Long (4-2) went six innings and struck out six with no walks to earn the win. Dylan Penick pitched a scoreless seventh and struck out the side.

Nine of Harding's 10 hits in the opener came with runners on base. The Bisons walked eight times and were hit by a pitch five times, including Colin Helms three times.

Harding took a 2-0 lead in game two, scoring on Doyle's RBI double and a run-scoring single from Logan Lacey.

Southwestern answered with three runs in the fifth and five more in the sixth.

Lacey had two of Harding's four hits in the game. His double was his team-leading 13th of the season.
