SHAWNEE – Oklahoma Baptist hosts its Strikeout Cancer Game and Senior Day with Ouachita Baptist coming to town this weekend.
 
Because of expected rain, the Strikeout Cancer Game and Senior Day will both be Friday and that doubleheader has been moved to a 2 p.m. start. Seniors will be recognized after the second game Friday.
 
OBU salutes its four seniors McKenzie Jones, Sam Barry, Jill Shipman and Madison Vaughan.
 
The series has been as close as the schools' initials. OBU is 4-4 in the all-time series with four one-run games. The teams split the series last year in Arkadelphia with the Tigers taking the first two and the Lady Bison the final two, carrying a two-game series win streak into the weekend.
 
Oklahoma Baptist is 21-28 this season, 13-24 in the Great American Conference and 13-14 at home.
 
OBU is hitting .271 as a team, led by Cheyenne Demaree at .349. Madison Vaughan leads the team with 10 home runs and shares the RBI lead with Demaree and Bailee Saye with 20 each.
 
The Lady Bison pitching staff has a 4.47 earned run average. Haylee Zimmerman leads in that category with a 4.09 ERA.
 
The Tigers are 21-31 on the season, 15-25 in the Great American Conference and 5-14 in road games. Ouachita hits .267 as a team, led by Macy Nantz at .331 with nine home runs and 30 runs batted in. The Tigers have a 4.41 team earned run average. Nantz leads with a 3.65 earned run average.
 
Oklahoma Baptist needs a win or one rain out to qualify for the NCCAA Regional. OBU will be the host if they qualify, though no other entrants have been identified.
 
Ouachita Baptist is one of four teams vying for the last three spots in the GAC Tournament. Currently ninth, the Tigers are a game behind Southern Nazarene and Northwestern Oklahoma State and two back of Henderson State. HSU plays its final series at SNU and NWOSU wraps up with Harding in Arkansas. Ouachita owns head-to-head tiebreakers against SNU and Henderson State.
