Oklahoma Baptist All-American Josh Collazo belted two more home runs Saturday to lead the Bison to an important Sooner Athletic Conference sweep at Mid-America Christian, 8-6 in eight innings and 9-7.

With the wins, the Bison take a one-game lead in the race for the final postseason berth despite a 10-run Rogers State win at top-ranked Lubbock Christian Saturday.

Collazo, who broke the school career home run record last week with his 39th career home run, tied his single season record in the first game with his 22nd of the season and launched No. 23 in the nightcap.

Mid-America broke out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning of the opener but the Bison chipped away, scoring no more than two runs in any inning.

OBU scored two in the second on a passed ball and an RBI ground out by Justin Trejo. The Bison added one in the third on Collazo's home run and tied the game in the fourth on an error.

The Bison scored twice in the fifth on a two-run home run by Josh Kirkpatrick, but the Evangels scored one run in both the fifth and sixth innings to tie the score at 6-6, but left the potential game-winner on third in the seventh. Chad Dawkins hit a two-out, two-run home run for the 8-6 lead in the top of the eighth.

Trejo (2-1) pitched 2.2 innings of no-hit relief to score the win.

The Bison had 11 hits in the game with Dawkins getting three and Kirkpatrick two.

OBU scored the first two runs of the second game in the first inning as Billy Thomas led off with a home run and Arin Fowble later scored on an error.
The Evangels, however, scored the next six runs to take a 6-2 lead before the Bison got re-started in the fifth.

OBU scored five times in the inning to take a 7-6 lead. Dawkins had an RBI single and Collazo added a three-run double before coming in on a base hit by Kirkpatrick.

The Bison got solo home runs in the sixth by Billy Jarka and in the seventh by Collazo.

Ryan Stavert (2-3) picked up the win in relief while Trejo earned his second save of the year with two innings of one-hit, shutout relief.

Now 34-17 overall and 13-14 in the SAC standings, the Bison host St. Gregory's in the first of a three-game set with the Cavaliers Tuesday at 7 p.m. OBU can clinch a postseason berth with a sweep of SGU.
