MUSKOGEE, OK:  The Texas Wesleyan University baseball team (20-7, 7-2 SAC) completed a 5-0 week by sweeping a three-game Sooner Athletic Conference series at Bacone College (4-24, 1-8 SAC) this weekend.  The rams swept Friday's doubleheader with scores of 12-4 and 10-1.  They took Saturday's finale 12-1.
 
With the game one win, Head Coach Mike Jeffcoat reached a career milestone.  The victory was the 500th of his Texas Wesleyan career.  Jeffcoat is the program's all-time winningest coach.  His record now stands at 502-350-1 (.589) in 16 seasons.
 
 Alex Lopez (4-1) picked up the game-one win.  He worked all seven innings and was perfect through five.  Bacone scored all four of their runs in the seventh, and Lopez finished with a line of four runs on five hits with seven strikeouts.
 
The Rams took advantage of two Bacone errors to score three unearned runs in the first inning.   Doubles from Casey Moses, Julio Ibarra, and Caden Williams highlighted a four-run second that put the Rams out to a 7-0 lead.
 
Garrett Crook added a solo homer in the third.  Kiki Menendez tripled and scored in the fifth, and Alex Gudac capped Wesleyan's day with a two-run single in the sixth.
 
The Rams broke out the long ball in game two.  Luis Roman and Julio Ibarra went back-to-back in the first inning.  Roman's was a three-run shot, and the Rams led 4-0.
 
RBI doubles from Kiki Menendez and Casey Moses contributed to a three-run fourth inning.  Menendez blasted a three-run homer in the fifth to account for Texas Wesleyan's ten runs.
 
Brad Sugg (3-0) limited the Warriors to just one run in the third inning.  He allowed a run on six hits while striking out six in six innings pitched.
 
In Saturday's finale, the offense took some time to get warmed up, but when it did, the Rams exploded for 12 more runs.
 
RBI from Roman in the first and Moses in the third gave the Rams a 2-0 lead.  Later, a two-run homer from Ibarra highlighted a five-run outburst in the sixth.  The Rams put up three more runs in the seventh, and Menendez polished things off with a two-run homer in the eighth.
 
Stephen Yancey (4-2) allowed one run on seven hits while striking out seven in seven innings pitched for the win.
 
Casey Moses went 8-for-11 at the plate in the series with a pair of doubles and three RBI.  Menendez was 7-for-2 with two home runs and seven RBI.  Ibarra also touched off a pair of home runs.
 
The Rams will return to action on Wednesday, when they host Dallas Christian College.  That game is scheduled for a 4:00 p.m. start at Sycamore Park.
