THE RUNDOWN

Ouachita Baptist baseball defeated Southeastern Oklahoma State in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday at Rab Rodgers Field. Tyler Riebock homered and doubled, and the Tigers stole eight bases in the victory.

Riebock's solo homer led off the bottom of the first with the game's first run. A Cole Kelly sacrifice fly and a two-run single by Jaxon Chaney added to the Tiger lead.

A Louis Steen sac fly added a run in the second. Simmons Sowell drove in a run with a single in the third. Steen picked up another RBI with a fourth-inning double.

After the Savage Storm got on the board with a solo home run in the fifth, Riebock ended a six-pitch at-bat with an RBI single in the bottom of the inning. 

Another solo homer gave Southeastern its second run in the seventh. The Tigers answered when CW Schrader took advantage of a wide-open right side of the Savage Storm infield, singling the other way to drive home Riebock with Ouachita's ninth run of the game.

Luke Scaggs earned the win on the mound, throwing 6.2 innings while allowing two runs with six strikeouts and two walks.
