Baseball is strange. In what other sport can a team ranked 5th in the nation, and with the second best ERA in conference give up 12 runs and 20 hits to Dallas Baptist? 20 hits! We didn't give up that many hits in our last three games combine; two of those games were against #4 Missouri. Childress thought it "wasn’t so much about what we didn’t do, but what Dallas Baptist did offensively... You have to give DBU credit.” Not a lot of insight there.

The puzzling hot/cold baseball phenomena continued in the second game of the series, but this time in the right direction, with a 9-4 win. Coach new it was "important for us to come back and answer the bell after last night’s performance." Seems like the best way to do that is by throwing out your two best pitchers. Brooks Raley got the win (6-0) with eight strike outs in six and 2/3 innings. Kyle Thebeau came on in the 8th and shut things down with five strikeouts in two innings.
