KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – The UBC Thunderbirds where edged in dramatic fashion in back-to-back contests as the Oregon Tech Hustlin Owls delivered consecutive walk-off winners to sweep Sunday's doubleheader and secure the series victory at Steen Sports Park.

The Hustlin' Owls (17-11, 3-1 CCC) rallied from a 7-3 deficit to win today's opener, 9-8, while Tech rode stellar pitching and a timely ninth inning single for a 1-0 shutout victory in the series finale.
 
Cody Dubray and three relievers combined on the 3-hit shutout in Game 2 – stranding a runner at third base in the first, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Dubray tossed six innings, allowing just two hits and a walk, striking out nine. Tim Williams threw a scoreless seventh, Brian McClelland worked the eighth, with Riley Cronin throwing a 1-2-3 ninth.
 
OIT stranded 12 runners through the first eight innings, as the T-Birds (16-12, 1-3) Ryan Beitel worked 7-plus innings of shutout ball. However, in the ninth, singles from Matthew Ortiz and Ryan Horner and a walk to Julien Jones loaded the bases. With two outs, Alonzo Vergara lined a base hit to plate Ortiz – setting off the second celebration of the day.
 
Horner was 3-for-5, with Ortiz and Ka'ala Tam each recording 2-hit games.
 
UBC had control of the opener, getting an Aaron Marsh 2-run double in the fourth and a Kenny Scott RBI double in the fifth to give the Canadian squad a 7-3 lead.
 
Tech battled back, scoring three runs in the fifth – including a Jones RBI single and a Tam sacrifice fly to pull within a run – tying the game in the sixth on a Kyle Norton RBI ground out.
 
The T-Birds manufactured an eighth inning run off a David Draayers ground out, but OIT rallied against UBC closer Vic Domingo. Cronin led off with a single and scored on a game-tying triple from Tam. Logan Macy followed with a fly ball to right – deep enough to plate Tam with the winning run.
 
Landon Cheney threw four innings of 1-run relief to earn the win, with Patrick Barry going 3-for-3 and both Ortiz and Horner recording two hits.  Trent Lenihan was 3-for-4 with two RBI and Scott had two doubles in the loss for UBC.
 
The T-Birds return home next weekend when they'll welcome Corban University for a four-game series beginning Saturday March, 23 at 1:00 p.m. PT. at Tourmaline Stadium.
