After winning two games against Friends University on Friday, Oklahoma Wesleyan University Eagles baseball team completed the four-game sweep Saturday afternoon by the scores of 11-10 in 10 innings and 18-6.

In the first game that lasted over three and a half hours, the Falcons got off to a fast start and led 8-3 after five innings.  But the Eagles had other plans and they found a way to come back.  OKWU scored two runs in the sixth, four runs in the seventh, and a run in the eighth to take a 10-9 lead.  Friends tied the game at 10 in the top of the ninth.  The score would stay that way until in the bottom of the tenth when Asa Manship got a walk off single to bring home Brett Pritchett from third base to win.  Manship along with Scott Weaver each got three hits.  Sam Haynes in relief got the win on the mound.  In four innings of work, Haynes gave up two runs on five hits and struck out two.

It was a home run derby for the Eagles in the second game.  As a team, the Eagles hit seven home runs, three of the homers were by Alejandro Hernandez.  He hit a two-run, a three-run, and a grand slam.  Hernandez finished the game with 9 RBI's.  OKWU jumped out early and never trailed. Carlos Aldana went the distance and got the win on the mound.

The Eagles remain at fourth place in the KCAC standings with a 19-13 conference record and 32-16 overall.
