Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – The Ouachita Tigers completed the three-game sweep over the Southern Nazarene Crimson Storm on Saturday, winning both games of the doubleheader, 17-1 and 7-3, respectively.
 
In the first game of the doubleheader, the Tiger offense exploded early and only increased, as Ouachita scored a run in every inning. Chris Tavares started the scoring in the first inning, recording a two-run single to left field. The inning also featured a two-run triple from Jace Melby.
 
The Tigers increased their lead as the game went on, scoring one run in each of the next four innings. Tavares highlighted the scoring with an RBI-double to center field in the fourth inning. Southern Nazarene scored one run in the top of the fifth, but Luis De Jesus was able to prevent the Crimson Storm from any sort of comeback.
 
In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Tigers rallied once again, scoring eight runs on five hits. Ouachita started the inning with eight consecutive batters reaching base safely, and the Tigers only left one runner on base at the end of the inning. The game was later called after the top of the seventh because of the 10-run rule.
 
Tavares led OBU's offense, batting 3-3 with two runs and four RBI. Keegan Ghidotti also recorded three hits and crossed home plate three times. Melby added four runs and three RBI, and Evan Ruiz drove in three RBI.
 
De Jesus (6-3) earned the complete-game win, giving up one, unearned run on six hits and one walk, and striking out three batters.
 
Game one's offense carried over to game two, as the Tigers scored in every inning except the second. Scoring started in the bottom of the first on a sacrifice fly by Melby. The Crimson Storm put one run on the board in the second, however, to tie the game at one.
 
In the bottom of the third inning, the Tigers gave starter Tryce Schalchlin more than enough run support, scoring three runs. Tyler Faught and Will Wallace provided the offense in the inning, as Faught recorded a two-run single, and Wallace added an RBI-single to give OBU a 4-1 lead. Ghidotti drove in another run in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI-groundout to bring the score to 5-1.
 
After the Crimson Storm scored two runs in the fifth inning, Ghidotti moved to pitcher to replace Schalchlin. Schalchlin pitched four and two-thirds innings, giving up three runs. Ghidotti finished the game, pitching for two and one-third innings while giving up no runs and striking out four.
 
The Tigers added one run in each of the final two innings to win the game 7-3. The first of the two came on a wild pitch that allowed Seth Childers to score from third. Parker Norris scored the second run on an RBI-groundout by Ghidotti.
 
Schalchlin (3-0) earned the win in the game two, and Ghidotti picked up his seventh save.
 
Keegan Ghidotti batted 7-12 on the weekend, recording seven runs and six RBI. He also hit his first homer of the season, and his GAC leading five triple. Landon Moore was 7-10 on the weekend, and Chris Tavares finished the weekend batting 5-9, recording five RBI and three runs. Will Wallace was 4-8 in the series and recorded three RBI. Jace Melby batted 4-5 in Saturday's doubleheader, scoring five runs and four RBI.
