Eller shuts out Savage Storm, Tigers put on offensive showcase

Box Score ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – Behind a complete-game shutout and six strikeouts from Connor Eller, the Ouachita Baptist Tigers defeated the Southeastern Oklahoma State Savage Storm on Saturday, 11-0. The Tigers are now 5-0 in Great American Conference play.
 
The Tigers recorded 10 hits on the day, starting with a single to right center by Will Wallace in the bottom of the first inning. Justin Weigle scored from second on the play, giving Ouachita the first lead of the game.
 
Wallace and Weigle contributed to the scoring again in the fourth inning, when Wallace reached first on an error and Weigle scored from second for the second time in the game. Later in the fourth, Preston Speers batted in two runs on a single up the middle to put the Tigers ahead 4-0. Speers singled home Wallace and Miller, who reached on a single through the left side.
 
After a three-run fourth inning, Ouachita posted a seven-run fifth inning on six hits. Parker Norris led off the half-inning with a bunt-single, and he and Weigle later scored on another single by Wallace.
 
Jace Melby, who reached first on a bunt-single, scored two at-bats later when Matt Sinclair singled through right side. With the bases loaded, Speers picked up his third RBI on a walk. Drew Feuerbacher followed with two more runs batted in when he singled to right center. The Tigers scored their seventh run of the inning on a single by Norris, before the Savage Storm finally registered the second and third out.
 
With an 11-0 lead, Eller recorded six outs on eight at bats to end the game in seven innings. Eller allowed only three hits and two walks to move to 4-0 on the season.
 
Norris, Wallace and Feuerbacher led the Tigers with two hits each, and Wallace and Speers each recorded three RBI. Weigle finished with a team-high three runs and three walks.
