TULSA, Okla. -- Oral Roberts broke a 2-2 tie with a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth that proved to be the difference, defeating Wichita State 5-2 on Tuesday night at J.L. Johnson Stadium.
The Golden Eagles (14-8) took the lead for good on a strange play. With a runner at first and one out in the sixth, ORU's Blaze Brothers hooked a sharp ground ball just fair down the left field line. After Wichita State left fielder Jaden Gustafson tracked the ball down in the corner, his throw slipped away into left field, allowing both runners to come all the way around to score.
