UBC completes road sweep of Oregon Tech

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – The UBC Thunderbirds completed a four-game series sweep of the host Oregon Tech Hustlin' Owls with a pair of wins Sunday at Kiger Stadium in Klamath Falls, Ore.
 
UBC (14-11, 9-3 NAIA West) won 6-4 in Game 1, and closed out the weekend with a 4-3 triumph over OIT (6-21, 2-10 NAIA W).

Game 1

Mike Fitzsimmons and Jordan Dray recorded two hits and two runs batted in each to lead the T-Birds.
 
Fitzsimmons hit a sacrifice fly, and Dray a two-RBI double in the fifth inning to give UBC a 5-2 lead. Austin Florez and Josh Kallstrom batted in two for the Owls in the bottom of the fifth with a homer and triple, respectively, to close the gap to 5-4.
 
Nolan Weger drove in an insurance run in the bottom of the seventh to close out the scoring at 6-4.
 
The T-Birds went ahead 2-0 in the third inning but the Owls responded soon after as an Austin Zavala home run scored two to tie the game in the bottom of the fourth.
 
UBC's Barry Caine pitched 4.1 innings of no-hit relief to earn the victory and improve to 3-0.
 
Austen Butler also contributed two hits, and an RBI, to the winning cause.
   

Game 2

Jaxon Valcke hit a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to propel UBC to a 4-3 comeback win.
 
The two teams went scoreless until the fifth inning, when T-Bird Brandon Hupe hit an RBI single to score Dray.
 
The Owls came back to take a 2-1 lead after taking advantage of five walks in the bottom of the sixth.
 
UBC tied things up in the seventh on a Dray RBI single, but a Zavala single batted in another run for Tech, which gave them a 4-3 lead.
 
Valcke and Dray had two hits apiece to lead UBC.

In his first start of the season, T-Bird pitcher James Bradwell threw five shutout innings and struck out six batters while giving up just three hits. Patrick van den Brink (1-1) pitched the final 1.1. innings to earn the victory.
   
UBC, winner of five straight and the leader in the NAIA West standings, will play at second-place College of Idaho (13-18, 7-5 NAIA West) next weekend in Caldwell, Idaho. The series will start with a single game Friday, followed by a Saturday doubleheader and a single matchup on Sunday morning.
