WEATHERFORD, Okla. – A seventh-inning, walkoff single from
Taylan Mullins-Ohm wrapped up a furious rally by the Bulldog Baseball team as polished off a doubleheader sweep of Southeastern Oklahoma State on Friday at the SWOSU Athletic Complex.
SWOSU (7-2, 4-1 GAC) will now go for a series sweep of the Savage Storm on Saturday, with first pitch of the series finale set for 12:00 pm.
SWOSU 6, Southeastern 3
Jackson Dietel showed his dual-threat ability in the opener, allowing one run on four hits while striking out four in 6.0 innings of work while also going 3-for-4 at the plate with three RBI and two runs scored. Dietel hit two home runs in the game, a two-run shot in the sixth to break open a 1-1 game, and one of the inside the park variety to lead off the eighth.
SWOSU also got a two-run single from
Miguel Soto in the seventh and
Taylan Mullins-Ohm was 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Dietel moved to 3-0 on the mount while
Ryan Hildner,
Vance Ferraro and
Chase Hamilton combined to allow two runs on four hits over the final 3.0 innings of work.
SWOSU 7, Southeastern 6
The outlook after five innings was not in the Bulldogs favor, but SWOSU rallied to score six runs in the final two frames to stun Southeastern and complete the Friday sweep. SWOSU trailed 6-1 after five innings and had just three hits to their credit as they came to bat in the sixth.
Drew White led off the sixth with a single and then scored on an RBI single from Dietel to make it 6-2, but it was Mullins-Ohm who gave life to the comeback with a two-run home run over the fence in left centerfield to make it 6-4.
Dakota Jones worked around a two-out double in the top of the seventh and turned it back over to the lineup trailing by two entering the final inning.
Alex Bedard got things started in the seventh with a single and he was quickly on third base following a stolen base and wild pitch. White then scored Bedard from third with a single and pinch runner
Carter Allen was moved to third on a single from Dietel.
Zach Baxley then stepped in and tied the game with a single to left and
Adam Theis was walked to load the bases with one out in a tie game.
That was when Mullins-Ohm returned to the plate and, facing five infielders, he managed to get a ball through on the right side to score pinch runner
Chris Cloud from third for the game-winning run.
Eric Estrada allowed five runs on seven hits in 4.0 innings before giving way to Jones (1-1), who earned the win after allowing one run on three hits over the final 3.0 innings.
