Miscues costly for Marauders as Bronchos rally for doubleheader sweep

EDMOND, OK – Unable to overcome multiple big innings by the home team the University of Mary baseball team lost a pair of games to the University of Central Oklahoma. After the visiting Marauders won the series opener on Friday, the Bronchos swept Saturday's doubleheader by 12-3 and 7-5 scores. UCO scored in seven different innings during the day and six featured two or more runs.
 
The Marauders look to earn a series split when UMary (1-2 overall) and Central Oklahoma (6-1) wrap up a 4-game series with a single game on Sunday, February 12. Game time is 12 noon.
 
GAME 1 | Central Oklahoma 12 UMary 3
A first inning grand slam by Bronchos right fielder Noah Olson provided all the runs Central Oklahoma needed to even up the weekend series with the Marauders at a game apiece. UMary, who had scored first in the top of the first on a run-scoring single by Derek Shoen, pulled within 4-2 when Krece Papierski homered in the second. UCO rebuilt its 4-run lead after scoring twice in the third. Kyle Jameson doubled home Noah Hull in the 4th to close within 6-3. The Bronchos sealed the win with a run in the fourth and five more in the sixth
 
TURNING POINT
Taking advantage of loaded bases without a hit ball leaving the infield, Olson cracked a grand slam over the wall in right center field. After the leadoff batter was hit by a pitch and an error on a sacrifice bunt attempt, a bunt single loaded the bases. One out later UCO had a 4-1 lead off the bat of Olson.

UMary twice rallied to tie the contest but a third comeback wasn't in the cards for the Marauders in a 7-5 loss to the Bronchos in game two of the day. After spotting Central Oklahoma a 3-0 lead after the first inning, UMary retaliated with three unearned runs in the top of the second. Taking advantage of two errors and a passed ball, the big Marauders blow was a run-scoring single by Michael Polson through the left side of the infield.
