Dawgs Take Two From Bison in Weatherford

WEATHERFORD, Okla. – The Bison baseball team dropped a pair of Great American Conference road games at Southwestern Oklahoma State Sunday.
 
The Bison fell in game one by a score of 8-5. Eric Carlson drove in two for OBU on a home run to left field in the top of the seventh and Joey Pledger rocketed a double to right center, scoring Brett Bloomfield. OBU added two more in the ninth, but couldn't complete the comeback as SWOSU turned a double play to end the game.
 
The Bison jumped out to a 3-1 first-inning lead in game two on a three-run Carlson home run to left center. OBU scored again in the top of the second on a one-out RBI single by Pledger.
 
The home team made it 4-3 in the bottom of the second and took the lead in the home half of the third against Bison starter Andrew Eppenbach.
 
Pledger helped OBU briefly re-take the lead in the top of the fourth with a two-run homer of his own, but the Dawgs answered in the bottom of the fifth with three runs to make it 8-6. SWOSU added to its total in the sixth on an RBI double by Rafael Villela.
 
The teams will conclude their three-game series tomorrow with a nine-inning contest scheduled for 3 p.m. in Weatherford.
