In the fourth inning of the first contest, Foster led off the bottom of the inning by pounding a solo blast beyond the left-field wall. Joe Lytle nailed an RBI single, and Branden Grieger reached home plate on a wild pitch for the Stars.

Lytle, a junior from Yukon, Okla., went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBIs, while Foster, a junior from Ardmore, Okla., was 2-for-3 with three runs scored and two runs driven in. Bean, a senior from Garland, Texas, scored three times and drove in two runs while going 1-for-2.
Shaun Corso and Cory Linn each had two hits, and Littell scored twice and drove in two runs.
Matt Young fanned five while scattering seven hits in seven innings. Young, a junior right-hander from Glendora, Calif., moved to 3-1 on the year.
In the second game, Baker knocked in OCU's first run with a base hit along the middle of the infield in the first. Baker crushed a 2-2 pitch over the right-field wall for a 2-0 OCU lead in the bottom of the fifth.
Michael Lowe hit a homer for Southwestern Christian to start the sixth. Tyler Milligan retired Lowe on a fly ball to right to end the game.
