Tulsa, Okla – The Oral Roberts baseball team swept the double-header Friday taking game two 3-0 over Arkansas Pine-Bluff.

With tonight's win, Head Coach Ryan Folmar secured win number 400 of his career.
 
Right-hander Nathan Love made his Golden Eagle debut on the bump, throwing seven shutout innings, allowing just four hits and two walks, and striking out six on 82 pitches. 
 
In relief, it was more of the same for ORU as Dalton Patten threw 2.0 perfect innings featuring two strikeouts on the way to his first save of 2025.
 
At the plate, all ORU needed was one run to secure the win, and that run came in the first inning. Cooper Combs drove in Will Edmundson with a single to center field, the first of two hits and runs driven in for the right fielder.
 
In the third, the Golden Eagles tacked on some insurance thanks to two infield singles. Makani Tanaka grounded one back to the pitcher, resulting in an RBI, and Combs struck again, sending a single over to third. That would be the last offense for either side as ORU took game two by a final of 3-0.
