The Dawgs will play their next game, 3 p.m. Tuesday against Emporia State University. 
 
Game One
OBU 18, SWOSU 7 (7 inn.)
 
SWOSU jumped out to an early lead in the first inning, but the Bison answered by scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning and never once looked back or were threatened.

Miguel Soto scored two runs and the Bulldogs recorded five RBIs. Marc Gonzales finished 3-for-4 at the plate and Alex Rice finished 2-for-3 at the plate. 
 
Game Two
OBU 11, SWOSU 7
 
SWOSU took advantage of some wild OBU pitching and led 3-2 lead after two innings of play. However, the Bison scored seven unanswered runs between the third and fourth innings to take a commanding 9-3 lead.
 
SWOSU responded by scoring four runs in the top of the fifth inning to get back in the game, but OBU would score three more runs and sweep the Bulldogs.
