Game 1: Oklahoma Wesleyan Lady Eagles Defeats York in a 3-1 Solid Team Effort


In a tightly contested game on Saturday afternoon, Oklahoma Wesleyan emerged victorious with a 3-1 win over York College, thanks to a blend of strong pitching, solid defense, and timely baserunning. The Eagles showcased resilience throughout the game, taking advantage of York's defensive errors to secure the win.

Maddy Wiese got the start and delivered a great performance, keeping York's offense at bay. Her efforts were crucial in limiting York to just one earned run. Wiese's composure and ability to control the strike zone were key factors in her earning the win. Relief pitcher Gabby Simpson came in to close the door on York's late rally. Simpson's quick work and strikeout stuff allowed Oklahoma Wesleyan to finish off the game without letting up any additional runs, showing the depth of their pitching staff.

The Eagles capitalized on York's mistakes, which was the difference in the game. Destiny Tune, who went 1-for-3 with a run scored, also showcased her speed, swiping two bags. Withem added a key hit and steal, while Purtell and Wiese each notched base hits as well. While the offense was quiet, the Eagles did just enough to manufacture runs and give their pitchers the support they needed to seal the win.

Game 2: Oklahoma Wesleyan Lady Eagles Dominates York in a 10-2 Victory

On the mound for Oklahoma Wesleyan, Teri Stanton, was in control from the start. Stanton, who earned her first win of the season, was efficient, limiting York to just two runs on three hits and striking out two batters. She kept the York batters off balance with a mix of pitches, allowing her defense to do the work behind her.

Oklahoma Wesleyan's offense was firing on all cylinders. The Eagles amassed 11 hits and scored in nearly every inning, capitalizing on York's defensive mistakes and continuing their aggressive base running. In the fourth inning, Oklahoma Wesleyan broke the game open, scoring 8 runs in a dominant offensive display. The inning was highlighted by timely hits, including a couple of doubles from Purtell and Wiese. York's defense struggled during the inning, committing crucial errors that allowed the Eagles to tack on more runs than initially anticipated.

The Lady Eagles were led by Alyssa Olivas, who went 2-for-2 with 2 RBIs and a stolen base, providing a consistent spark at the top of the lineup. Brooklyn Purtell also stood out, going 2-for-2 with 2 RBIs, including a double that helped fuel the offensive onslaught. Purtell was the offensive catalyst, delivering clutch hits in key moments to push the Eagles' lead. Maddy Wiese, Abby Huie, and Kami Withem each contributed multiple hits, helping to keep the pressure on York's pitchers throughout the game.

Oklahoma Wesleyan's dominant win sets the tone for the rest of the season as they continue to find success both at the plate and in the circle. Next up for the Oklahoma Wesleyan Lady Eagles they will face off against Friends University on April 8th in a two-game series @12 and 2 PM. Go Eagles!
