OKWU Baseball is on the brink of making it to the KCAC title game after defeating second-seeded Tabor with a score of 6-4 in the tournament. The Eagles remain unbeaten in the tournament and are in a commanding lead as they head into the weekend. In a dramatic turn of events, OKWU pitcher Ashton Luera stepped up and secured the win for his team, even as Tabor’s Blue Jays loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth inning.
With this victory, OKWU only needs to win one more game on Saturday to secure their spot in the title game on Sunday. The Eagles will be facing either Friends University or Tabor College, both teams that OKWU has previously beaten. This win brings OKWU’s overall season record to 33-18 and they will need to win the conference tournament in order to earn a spot in the NAIA national tournament.
As we continue to follow OKWU baseball’s journey towards the title game, we will bring you updates on their progress. Stay tuned for more information on how they fare against their next opponent.
