Baseball: Oral Roberts Takes Two From YSU; 9-5, 8-1
    Niles, Ohio -- The Oral Roberts baseball team used five homers and crafty pitching performances from Mike Rodgers and David Humen to sweep a doubleheader from Youngstown State, 9-5 and 8-1 on Saturday afternoon at Cafaro Field.
    In game one, YSU jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead after the first inning but Rodgers kept the Penguins in check allowing just one run in the next six innings as Oral Roberts scored eight unanswered runs thanks to homers by Chad Stewart, Stockton Davis and Josh Shackelford. In game two, Humen scattered six hits and allowed one run in 7.1 innings while Stewart and Jimmy Lintt homered for the Golden Eagles.
    No. 29 Oral Roberts improves to 26-6 and remains a perfect 10-0 in the Mid-Continent Conference. The Golden Eagles have won 12 straight games and seven consecutive contests over the Penguins. YSU falls to 13-16-1 and 4-6 on the year. The teams conclude the series with an Easter Sunday doubleheader at Cafaro Field beginning at noon.
    Youngstown State came out in first game and built a 2-0 lead on an RBI-double by Todd Santore and a RBI single by Jim Lipinski. But ORU tied the game in the second and took the lead for good with a two-run third. YSU trailed 8-2 before scoring once in the seventh.
    ORU added an insurance run in the top of the ninth and YSU mounted a threat in the bottom of the inning scoring twice with one out when Matt Lucki singled off Dallas Martin. With no outs and two runners on, Adam Cox struck out, Kendall Schlabach hit into a fielder's choice and Kellen Dixon lined out to center to end the threat.
    In game two, YSU's offense never got going in being held to just one run for the second time in the last three outings. ORU led 4-0 after two innings and extended the lead to 6-0 on a two-run homer by Stewart in the sixth. The Penguins scored their lone run in the sixth when Ty Furino scored on a Dixon ground out. In the seventh Lintt hit a two-run homer off Matt Brumit (1-4) to help give the Golden Eagles an 8-1 win.
