KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – On Senior Day, senior Trey Sullivan smacked a grand slam home run to lift Oregon Tech past Northwest Christian 9-1 in game 2 in a mercy rule 5-inning game. The Owls salvaged a split after NCU won game 1, 6-4. Oregon Tech moves to 18-6 in Cascade Conference play and 25-16 on the year; Northwest Christian moves to 14-30 on the year and 8-16 in CCC play.
 
Game 1 Northwest Christian 6 Oregon Tech 4
Oregon Tech out-hit Northwest Christian 12-5 but it was the Beacons who took advantage of 4-walks, a hit batter and an OIT error to score 6-runs on 1-hit in the 5th inning as they held on to upset No. 24 Oregon Tech 6-4 in game 1.
 
NCU broke open a scoreless game with the 6-runs in the top of the fifth.
 
Tech rallied with 2-runs in the bottom of the frame on 4-hits highlighted by a Tara Moates’ double to make it a 6-2 game.
 
The Owls added a run in the 6th on an Alyssa Davis triple to make it 6-3.
Moates hit a 1-out single to start a potential rally in the bottom of the 7th. Ali Graham popped out to leave OIT down to its final out. Sullivan singled to give Tech runners at first and second. Cassidy Hoglund followed with a single into left to load the bases. Sadie Birch drew a walk to score a run and make it a 6-4 game. Davis then grounded out to short to end the game.
 
Katie Walker picked up the win for NCU to improve to 4-8.
 
Tech’s Ann-Marie Guischer had 5 strike-outs with 5-walks as she picked up the loss.
 
Graham led the Owls with 3-hits with Moates, Davis, and Sydni Scott each had 2-hits for the Owls.
 
Parker Fricker had 2-hit for NCU.
 
Game 2 Oregon Tech 9 Northwest Christian 1
Freshman Ali Graham allowed only 4-hits in the circle with Tre Sullivan hitting a bases loaded homer to lift the Owls to the 9-1 win. 
Tech jumped on top of the Beacons early with 2-runs in the 1st highlighted by a Graham RBI double.

NCU made 2-1 in the 2nd with 1-run on 2-hits and 2-walks. 

OIT made it 4-1 in the bottom of the 2nd on a Katie Virtue 2-run single up the middle. 

The Owls busted the game wide-open in the 4th, loading the bases with 2-outs when Sullivan blasted a 2-2 fastball over the centerfield fence to give Tech a 8-1 lead. 

The Beacons went down in the top of the 5th

Lynzee Wartman led of the 5th with an infield single. She moved to 2nd on a Davis single then moved to 3rd when Jacey Conklin walked. Wartman scored the mercy-rule run on a grounder by Virtue that was bobbled by the NCU shortstop as Tech won 9-1. 

Virtue led OIT with 3-hits with Sullivan adding 2-hits including her 3rd homer of the season. 

Oregon Tech will wrap-up the CCC regular season next weekend with a doubleheaders at Northwest University in Kirkland on Friday and University of British Columbia in Vancouver B.C. on Saturday.
