Eagles Escape with Walk-Off Win in KCAC Tournament
The Oklahoma Wesleyan baseball team needed a comeback effort to top Bethany 7-6 in the first round of the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament. The Eagles trailed 4-0 going into the bottom of the third inning before cranking up their offense to get the win. Danny Perez ended things with a walk-off single.
The Eagles put up three runs in the final two frames to steal the win. Isaac Wersland hit a home run and Jesus Rojas had an RBI single in the 8th. Perez would knock home Hector Manon on a single to center field to win the game. Perez finished the game with three hits and four RBI.
OKWU starter Kellen Brothers allowed five runs (three earned) over four innings of work. Billy Wall and Brendan Bell combined to work the next five innings and the duo only surrendered two hits. Bell worked a scoreless 9th inning and was credited with the win.
The Eagles will play the loser of Kansas Wesleyan and McPherson on Thursday at 3 p.m. from Great Bend, KS.
