GAME ONE
Overview:
For the second straight day, Justin Crider provided the heroics as he blasted a three-run walk-off homer to help the Eagles to a 8-7 game one win. The Eagles then completed the four-game sweep with a convincing 18-4 game two win. It is the first 4-0 start for the program since 2005. Crider, who ripped the game-winning double in Friday's game two win, wasn't done with his dramatics for the weekend. With two outs and runners on second and third, the left-handed Crider took a curveball and launched it over the right field fence to send the Eagles into a frenzy. Crider, Josh Woolly and Chase Edwards all drove in runs for Ozarks. Corey Steward received the win in relief. Steward was masterful in his 3.1 innings of work, allowing only one hit and fanning three.
