Pitt State Splits Season Opening Action

EDMOND, Okla. — Andrew Branson delivered a pinch hit walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning to help give the Pittsburg State University baseball team a 2-1 win over Southwestern Oklahoma State University in the season opener for both schools Saturday morning (Feb. 4).
 
The Gorillas and Bulldogs played one inning Friday night at Wendell Simmons Field before one of the stadium's light pole standards experienced an electrical failure.
 
The two squads returned to the diamond Saturday morning and a pitcher's duel ensued between Pitt State's Parker Tennill and G. Ewy. Both pitchers allowed just one run – Tennill surrendered a second-inning run to SWOSU while Ewy finally blinked in the seventh, allowing Daegan Brady to single home pinch runner Brevon Lee with the tying run .
 
Pitt State's Daegan Brady singled home pinch runner Brevon Lee with the tying run in the eighth.
 
Ryan Koval led off the Pitt State ninth inning with a double and Lee followed with a walk off Bulldogs reliever Ernesto Hidrogo (0-1). Koval made an out on the bases, but Lee stole second base on the next pitch. Brady drew a walk and Branson delivered the winning hit.
 
Tanner Leslie (1-0) pitched 4.0 scoreless innings behind Tennill, registering a pair of strikeouts. Tennill allowed just an unearned run and three walks in 4.0 innings of work. Friday night starter Zac Shoemaker fanned all three batters he faced before the game's postponement.
 
In game two action Saturday, Oklahoma Baptist University struck early and rode that momentum to a 21-4 run-rule victory. The Bison (2-0) pounded out 15 hits against five Pitt State pitchers and benefited from six walks and a pair of hit batsmen.
 
Jake Grauberger, Brady, Joe Hamilton and Braeden Hinton each registered run-scoring hits in the contest. Hamilton and Nixon Brannan collected two hits apiece.
 
The Gorillas will close out action in the UCO First Pitch Classic with a 10 a.m. game against Northern State University Sunday. The game originally was scheduled for a Noon start but was moved up due to the lighting issue at the field.
