OKLAHOMA CITY – The Texas Wesleyan baseball club (13-9, 5-4 SAC) finished off an important 3-game conference series with Mid-America Christian (13-14, 2-7 SAC) at MACU Baseball Field on Saturday afternoon. The Rams have now won four consecutive conference games.
 
The Rams tallied 25 hits on the day, including 11 extra base hits, while the pitching staff fanned 21 batters. The sweep of MACU puts the Rams squarely in the middle of the 9-team conference in fifth place.
 
Bahnsen led the way offensively with seven RBI on the day, including a home run in each game of the double header. Barrett hit three bombs on the day going 4 for 7 with four RBI. Randle went 5 for 7 with five RBI on the day, including a grand slam in game one.
 
In game one, The Rams poured in the 13 runs, their tenth double digit effort of the season. 
 
The Evangels stole an early lead after lead-off hitter Isaiah Haddad reached on a single and then scored by stealing home.
 
The Rams took a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning. Ryne Randle started the run with a single up the middle, and Tyriece Silas followed suit with another single in the same direction. A fielding error allowed the ball to roll toward the center field fence, which allowed Randle to score and Silas to move to third base. Brayden Bahnsen knocked in the go-ahead run on a RBI groundout.
 
The Evangels tied the game in the bottom half of the inning however, knotting things up again at 2-2
 
The tie was quickly broken in the fifth as Randle blasted a grand slam over the right field wall – his first of the season – to lift the Rams to a 6-2 lead, the exclamation of a three hit inning.
 
Greyson Barrett joined in on the fireworks, as the sophomore first baseman accounted for two of the next three home run for the Rams. Barrett started the sixth with a solo shot, before he capped the game with his seventh home run of the season in the seventh inning. Bahnsen also added a three-run blast in the sixth.  
 
Garrett Moltzan (4-1) collected the win after two strong innings in relief. The senior from Justin, Texas gave up no runs and no hits while striking out two. Starter Marcos Sanchez had a solid line as well, throwing three innings, giving up one run on five hits with two walks and six strikeouts.
 
In game two, the Rams kept scoring and had to as MACU put up six runs. It was a couple of costly errors that gave the Evangels a 3-2 lead in the bottom half of the second, before Kevin Santiago hit a one-run double to the left-center gap for the equalizer.
 
Another pause for effect summarized the fourth inning before Barrett, having a monster day, raised another past the left field fence – his fourth of the series and eighth of the year. His home run broke the tie, and it was Tyriece Silas who knocked out his second homer of the season to add an insurance run to cap the inning.
 
In the seventh, the Rams padded the stat sheet with a four-run rally. Jose Sosa plated a run on a sacrifice fly to right, before Bahnsen added another RBI on a base hit. Joseph Barfield capped the series with a 2-run single into the right-center gap and the Rams complete the series sweep of MACU.
 
Stephen Roberts (1-0) picked up the win in relief, tossing a scoreless sixth before Matt Moclair notched his second save of the season with a scoreless seventh.
