THE RUNDOWN

Ouachita Baptist softball put the finishing touches on a three-game sweep of Northwestern Oklahoma State with a 4-1 win in Alva, Oklahoma. A three-run third-inning made the difference as Nikki Schneider went the distance for the second straight game.

Ouachita struck first, as Hope Waid tripled to lead off the game and scored on a Ranger error. Northwestern answered with a solo home run in the bottom of the frame to tie the score.

Callie Jourdan's two-run double broke that tie in the third. Jourdan came around to score on Madison Miller's RBI single to add an insurance run.

Schneider held the Rangers to just three hits in the ballgame. After their first-inning homer, the Rangers managed just two singles, two walks and two hit batters. One runner made it past second over the final six innings.
