SAINT PAUL, Minn.– The Oral Roberts baseball team clinched a spot in the 2024 Summit League Tournament behind a stellar day on the mound from Jakob Hall.

The right hander put an exclamation point on his Summit League Pitcher of the Year campaign as he would fan at least 12 batters for the second time this season and give the Golden Eagles 8.2 innings of two-run ball.

ORU's lineup insured that their starter would finish his last nine starts undefeated as the quartet of Elijah Rodriguez, Martell Davis, Alex Rodgers, and Drew Stahl put the Golden Eagles up 4-0 through seven with Stahl launching a line drive over the left field fence to take the wind out of the Tommies' sails.

After Saint Thomas got on the board with a homer of their own, ORU plated three more runs off a single from Kyle Booker and heads-up baserunning from Sam Thompson and Stahl.

The Tommies attempted to make it a game in the ninth but Dalton Patten would slam the door shut and give ORU their ninth win in the last eleven games
