UCO Evens The Series At Northwest

MARYVILLE, Mo. – The UCO baseball team got back in the win column on Friday with a 7-3 victory at Northwest Missouri.
 
Central Oklahoma is now 23-16 on the season with the win and the Bronchos improved to 15-11 in MIAA play.
 
"We did a good job today of scoring runs throughout the game," UCO head baseball coach John Martin said. "I feel like we kept the pressure on and that was good. And we got a great start from our pitching staff. They were good today."
 
Tucker Elliott got the start and was solid through seven innings of work. He allowed three runs on eight hits and issued two walks, but he also struck out six batters.
 
Beaux Bonvillain threw one inning and Owen Logan pitched the ninth. Neither allowed a baserunner and Logan recorded one strikeout.
 
Central Oklahoma got on the scoreboard first in the top of the third inning. Jaden Parsons drew a two-out walk and Clayton Peterson followed with a single to left field. Garrett Takamatsu scored them both with a double down the right field line to give UCO a 2-0 lead.
 
Northwest went back in front, 3-2, but the Bronchos tied it up in the top of the fifth inning. Peterson doubled to center field for his third hit in as many at bats. Takamatsu hit a sacrifice fly to right field to move Peterson to third. Then Noah Olson hit a sac-fly to center that scored Peterson and made the game, 3-3.
 
In the top of the sixth, with one out, Trevor Stevens belted a solo home run to put the Bronchos in front. He drilled the 1-1 pitch out of the park for the go-ahead run.
 
Kaleb Glass also hit a solo homer. His coming in the top of the eighth inning to put Central Oklahoma ahead 5-3.
 
Central added a pair of insurance runs in the top of the ninth.
 
Takamatsu drew a one-out walk and Wyatt Gray singled with two outs and then advanced to second on the play thanks to an error by the NWMSU shortstop. With runners on second and third, Glass also reached on an error by the same shortstop and both runners scored to give Central a 7-3 lead.
 
Peterson led the Bronchos with three hits, including one double. Glass went 2-for-5 with a home run. UCO scattered nine hits in the game.
 
The series is split 1-1 following Friday afternoon's game. The Bronchos and the Bearcats will meet Saturday at 1 p.m. in the rubber match. UCO will play its final road game of the 2022 season Saturday before finishing the regular season with eight home games over the next two weeks.
