Oklahoma Baptist got a walk-off single on Senior Day by senior and
career RBI leader Kaley Dickerson Saturday to give OBU a split of a
Sooner Athletic Conference doubleheader with Southern Nazarene.
OBU lost the first game 4-2 and won the second game 3-2 in eight
innings.
The Lady Bison fell behind 3-0 in the first inning of the opener on a three-run double by Amy Madden. SNU went up 4-0 in the second with a run-scoring wild pitch.
Amanda Hanner shut out the Crimson Storm in the last five innings of relief.
OBU made it 4-1 in the second inning on an RBI single by Abbey Basler, but the Lady Bison left runners on the corners.
Sonya Beach and Basler made it 4-2 in the fourth with back-to-back doubles. Basler stole third but OBU couldn't get her home in two chances.
Jordan Simmons (15-6) picked up the pitching win while Cassidi Henderson (6-10) took the loss.
Basler had two of OBU's nine hits in the contest.
In the second game, Beach (11-8) allowed two runs - one earned - and struck out two to get the eight-inning win.
OBU took a 1-0 lead in the third inning on a sacrifice fly by senior Kylie King.
Southern Nazarene scored twice in the fifth on an RBI triple by Katie Turner and a run-scoring error.
OBU tied the game in the bottom of the sixth when King doubled and scored on an RBI two-bagger by Ashley Clifton to start the inning.
With the international tiebreaker rule, SNU had a runner at second to start the eighth, but Chelsea Lowell, who had three hits in the game, ran into her own bunt and did not advance the runner. Beach then got a strike out and a ground out to get out of the inning.
Candace Holden was placed at second base to start the bottom of the ninth and she moved up to third on a sacrifice by King. SNU intentionally walked Clifton and Dickerson ripped the first pitch over the head of the Storm centerfielder for the game-winner.
Alyssa Henkes, Clifton and Dickerson had two hits each for the Lady Bison.
Now 21-25, the Lady Bison play at Mid-America Christian Tuesday at 2 p.m.
