Bartlesville Radio: The area’s best source for news, weather and sports!

Rain has already majorly messed with the Doenges Ford Indian’s play during their annual trip to Branson, Missouri – However Bartlesville’s summer baseball team did get some good news on Thursday afternoon.

The Indians were granted a victory over McDonald County in the tournament’s first game, 10-2.

The game was called due to rain in the fifth inning. The contest was actually two outs shy of going officially final, but MAC County chose to forfeit the final two outs to hand Bartlesville its first win of the summer.

The Indians jumped on the board in a big second inning to take a 6-2 advantage. Bartlesville took advantage of sloppiness by McDonald County scoring on several walks and wild pitches. It was the addition of Bartlesville Bruin Alan Covarrubias that may have made the difference. He threw four plus innings and struck out eight in the rain-shortened complete game victory.

Bartlesville was scheduled to play a second game against CMC Gray at 4:30 on Thursday afternoon, however that game has been rescheduled for 9:00 AM on Friday  – we will; not have radio coverage of that contest.

The Indian’s are then scheduled to wrap up pool play in the tournament at 9:00 and 10:45 on Saturday morning with a strict 1.5 hour time limit.

We will rejoin radio coverage of the Indian’s on Saturday morning, if that schedule holds, on Sports Talk 1500 AM – and 99.1 FM – KPGM.

Bartlesville is now 1-7 on the summer.
