TULSA, OKLA. - The Oral Roberts baseball team dropped their final home mid-week game of 2025 due to Cincinnati's fast start by a final 10-2.
Will Edmunson's second four-hit game for ORU this season included driving in his 19th run. He has hits in 23 of his last 25 games.
The Bearcats got going early and often, scoring five times in the opening frame, one a six-hit highlight by a three-run blast to break it open early. They would go on to add on a run in the second and fourth innings as well to take a 7-0 lead.
In the bottom of the fourth, the Golden Eagles got on the board with a RBI infield single from Edmunson and a RBI ground out from
Owen Coil to make it a five-run deficit.
Keaton Ruthhardt came out of the bullpen in relief, going 3.2 innings, giving up just four hits, one run, and striking out six.
In the sixth, the Bearcats got back on the board with another run while the ORU offense struggled to get anything going down the stretch. In the ninth, Cincinnati put it away with two runs in the ninth, and the Golden Eagles went down in order as they fell 10-2 to Cincinnati.
