OCU Notebook
Previously: Some gutsy plays and a bounce-back rally gave Oklahoma City a 12-11 win over No. 21 Texas Wesleyan on Saturday. After the Rams rallied for four runs in the top of the eight to take an 11-10 lead, the Stars got off the deck and literally stole one from TWU. Eli Hill had an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth and Jack Johnson stole home as the TWU pitcher was making a pickoff move to first base for the final margin. Brittain Brewer was five for five with four RBIs to lead OCU. Joining Brewer with multiple hits were Johnson, Alexander and Trent Baker. OCU had 16 hits for the game. Nick Anaya (3-0) pitched 1.2 scoreless innings of relief to pick up the win.
