OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City needed some late-inning magic but completed the sweep of Southwestern Christian with wins of 6-2 and 5-4 on Saturday.
 
OCU will be the second seed in next week's Sooner Athletics Conference Tournament, hosting at least six games starting on Thursday.
 
OCU 6, SCU 2
 
For the first time in the series, OCU scored first, getting and RBI single from Jessica Phares in the bottom of the second for a 1-0 lead.
 
Analise Rayburn added a two-run home run in the third and Tara Hoehner had a sacrifice fly in the fifth for a 4-0 Stars lead.
 
Southwestern Christian scored twice in the top of the sixth, but Kaiden Spidell got those runs back with a two-run double in the bottom of the sixth.

OCU 5, SCU 4

Hoehner had an RBI double and Rayburn doubled in two runs to trim the lead to 4-3. Peyton Barrow doubled to tie the score. After Moreno singled Barrow to third, she intentionally got herself into a rundown and deftly avoided a tag that gave Barrow time to score the go-ahead run.

McKenna Snyder tossed 4.2 scoreless innings of relief to get the win.
