LAWTON, Okla. – Five pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts and allowed one run on five hits as the SWOSU Baseball team picked up a 2-1 victory on Tuesday in a non-conference game at Cameron.
 
The performance comes at the perfect time for SWOSU's pitching staff, which had struggled to find their footing of late, allowing five or more runs in nine consecutive games coming into Tuesday.
 
Noah Chapin got things started and allowed Cameron their lone run of the game on an RBI double in the second inning, one of three hits the Aggies got against him. Chapin struck out three in three innings before handing off to Dakota Jones (2-0), who was masterful in his three innings, striking out six and allowing one hit to earn the victory.
 
Matt Milner, Chase Hamilton and Haden Branch each pitched an inning to close things out, with Milner allowing the only hit before immediately erasing the baserunner with a double play. Branch struck out two in the ninth to earn his second save of the year.
 
Offensively, SWOSU was held to five hits, but that is all they needed for two runs as a fielder's choice off the bat of Alex Bedard scored Taylan Mullins-Ohm in the third before a sac fly from Griffin Larsen allowed Zach Baxley to score and take the lead in the fourth.
 
SWOSU (15-10) is back at home this weekend, taking on Arkansas Tech for a three-game conference series in Weatherford.
