TULSA, Okla.– The Oral Roberts baseball team completed their first Summit League sweep of the season this afternoon over Northern Colorado with the help of a few stellar performances by their seniors.

After a rocky first inning that saw the Bears jump in front 2-0, Joshua Caravalho would maintain his composure, and put together his best outing of the season.

The right-hander out of Santa Clara would not allow a single base runner until the sixth inning, fanning four batters in the process.

Meanwhile, Alex Rodgers got Oral Roberts on the board in the third after a sacrifice bunt caused an errant throw allowing Martell Davis to score. Holden Breeze quickly followed that up with a 2-RBI single to regain the lead for the Golden Eagles.

The long ball continued to be a theme for the Golden Eagles this weekend as Kyle Booker went deep for the second time this series, connecting on a three-run homer.

Later after ORU went up 7-2 scoring on a double play, Sam Thompson launched a moonshot over the right field fence striking the light pole just outside the bullpen.

Ryan Carmack would be tasked with getting the three inning save and the senior immediately overpowered the UNC lineup, striking out the side in his first inning of work.

In his last regular season outing in J.L Johnson Stadium, Carmack tossed two more scoreless innings picking up the save with a strikeout to put an exclamation point on what has been the best weekend for the ORU pitching staff this season.
