Stars sweep twin bill from defending national champion

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City University took a pair from Cumberland (Tenn.) 2-0 and 13-7 on Tuesday at Jim Wade Stadium.
Matt Young and Miguel Gonzalez combined on a four-hit shutout in the first game, then J.J. Bissell drove in four runs in the nightcap to pace OCU. The Stars, ranked 16th in NAIA baseball, moved to 14-5 on the season.
Oklahoma City improved to 6-1 against ranked opponents this season. Defending national champion Cumberland, the preseason No. 1, dropped to 3-13. OCU remained at No. 16 in the newest NAIA top 25.

Gonzalez, a junior right-hander from Los Angeles, posted his second save of the year by fanning three in the final 1.1 innings for the Stars.
Reggie Wilson ripped a triple that nearly bounced to the left-center field wall on OCU's first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning. Wilson scored on Joe Lytle's grounder. In the second, Bissell, Josh Halbert and Adam Clark drew consecutive walks to score the Stars' second run.

In the second game, Bissell, a junior from Windsor, Colo., went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored. Jared Baker drove in OCU's first run of the game with a base hit to center, then Bissell crushed a two-run double off the center-field wall for a 3-0 OCU first-inning lead.
Baker tied the game at five runs each by hammering a two-run home run to right in the third. Joe Haddox added an RBI single, then Halbert scored on the play when the right fielder allowed the ball past him.
