Point Lookout, MO - College of the Ozarks opened Tuesday’s doubleheader with an early avalanche, then closed it with late drama, sweeping Kansas Christian College 10-0 and 6-5 at Point Lookout.

The Bobcats put Game one away in the first inning, scoring six times on the way to a seven-inning win. Landon Jines reached after being hit by a pitch, advanced on a throwing error and came home on a wild pitch to start the scoring. Aaron Fisher added an RBI single later in the inning, and Craig Busse delivered a two-run double as College of the Ozarks built a 6-0 lead before Kansas Christian could settle in. The Bobcats added three more runs in the third, highlighted by Fisher’s two-run homer, then Busse drove in another run with an RBI double in the fifth to make it 10-0.

Chandler Eubanks handled the rest. The right-hander threw a complete-game shutout, working all seven innings while allowing five hits with four strikeouts on 86 pitches. Kansas Christian did not draw a walk, and the Bobcats played clean defense behind him in a solid all-around performance. College of the Ozarks finished with 11 hits and no errors. Busse went 3 for 3 with three runs and three RBIs, Fisher had two hits, two runs and three RBIs, and Brody Baumann doubled and scored twice.

The second game took a much different shape. Kansas Christian grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first when Denzel Rincon doubled and scored on Jake Galloway’s double, but the Bobcats answered in the second. Brody Tyler ripped a two-run double to put Bobcats in front 2-1. Kansas Christian kept pushing, tying the game in the third on Galloway’s solo homer and moving ahead again in the fourth before the Bobcats pulled even and then surged back in the fifth.

Brody Tyler delivered the biggest swing of the nightcap in the fifth, a two-run homer that gave the Bobcats the lead. He finished with four RBIs in a 2-for-3 game and helped power a 10-hit team effort. Busse added another three-hit game, going 3 for 4 with a double and a run scored, while College of the Ozarks also drew six walks to keep pressure on Kansas Christian pitching.

Kansas Christian made one last push in the seventh when Drew Lippold hit a two-run homer to tie the game at 5-5. The Bobcats answered in the bottom half. Kyle Beeman came around with the winning run on a wild pitch, sending College of the Ozarks to the doubleheader sweep and capping a day in which the Bobcats scored 16 runs across the two games.

The Bobcats take their six-game win streak on the road to conference front-runner Texas Wesleyan for a three-game series on Thursday and Friday. Games were originally scheduled for Friday and Saturday but have been moved up due to impending weather.
