Baseball Sweeps Senior Day Slate against Ouachita

WEATHERFORD, Okla. – SWOSU Baseball sent its seniors out on a high note on Saturday, sweeping both games from Ouachita Baptist by scores of 3-2 and 8-6. The day featured a pitching duel in the opener and an offensive game in the nightcap, but the Dawgs found ways to earn victories in each contest.
 
The weekend will conclude with the third and final game of the series on Sunday at 1 pm where SWOSU will look to collect the three-game sweep after already claiming the series victory on day one. Sunday's contest will also be the last regular season game played at the Athletic Complex and the last time the 11 seniors will play a game in front of the home crowd. 
 
Game One
SWOSU 3, Ouachita Baptist 2
Box Score (html)
 
The game was dominated by both teams' starting pitchers, as the two arms combined for 22 strikeouts and just eight hits – both with 8.0 innings of work. Jeremy Smith struck out a career-high 14, only conceding one run during his outing. John Franklin Matros, Ouachita's pitcher, took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before it was finally broken up by Joshua Santos with a lead-off double to the inning.
 
In that seventh inning, Connor Anderson stepped up to the plate with two outs and bases loaded and delivered the go-ahead two RBI single that put SWOSU up 2-1 where the game would stay until the ninth.
 
Quintin Dougherty was called on for the save attempt, but was unable to get the job done after allowing the Tigers to tie the game with a run despite being down to their final three outs. Dougherty was able to do damage control, and stranded the bases loaded to prevent Ouachita from taking the lead.
 
In the bottom of the ninth, the Dawgs loaded the bases with no outs and in stepped Jason Nichols who came through with the game-winning single to left field that scored Santos who led off the inning with a hit.
 
Game Two
SWOSU 8, Ouachita Baptist 6
Box Score (html)  
 
The bats got going early in the nightcap, lighting up Ouachita's pitcher for six runs in the opening inning. With the six run lead, SWOSU starter Gunnar Cook was able give the Dawgs a quality start and keep the Dawgs' lead intact. Cook struck out three and allowed three runs (two earned) in 4.0 innings of work to collect his third win of the season and improve to 3-3 on the bump.
 
Ouachita was able to make things interesting late, scoring runs for three consecutive innings in the fourth, fifth and sixth but the early deficit proved to be too much. Daniel Richardson and Joshua Santos added runs in the fourth and fifth which proved to be insurance for the later innings.
 
Quintin Dougherty redeemed himself from his outing earlier in the day, and collected the five-out save for his sixth of the season.
