Bartlesville was no-hit in the contest - And only grabbed five base runners on walks. Former Dewey Bulldogger Cole Hancock took the loss in a spot start but did register five strikeouts.
In game two the Tribe turned things around. Bartlesville was down 1-0 before the Indians came alive in the fourth with a Hunter Shea double and Kael Siemers single, which scored two to give the Indians the lead for good.
In the sixth, Siemers would double home two more to add some insurance.
Siemers would prove the hero. He had three of the four RBIs in the game, then added a save to his resume, facing only four in the top of the seventh to secure the victory.
Here is how the final out sounded on KWON.
Carlos Lopez gave the Indians a spot start against the Collegiate League team. Lopez has spent time at Coffeyville Community College and Oklahoma Wesleyan He allowed only one hit over six innings. He struck out six and walked two.
