MUSKOGEE – No. 24-ranked Bacone College scored eight unanswered runs in the final three innings to stun St. Gregory's 11-10 Tuesday at Warrior Field. The Warriors scored the winning run on a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth, sending the Cavaliers to their seventh loss in eight games.

SGU's Matt Blackwell went 3-for-6 with two RBIs and Cody Guenthart hit his third home run of the season, but it wasn't enough in what turned out to be a wild game that featured 21 runs, 20 hits, 20 walks and five hit batsmen.

Down 1-0 early, the Cavs opened up a commanding lead after scoring six runs in the second inning. The frame was highlighted by two-RBI doubles from Mark Milioto and Guenthart. J.J. Egler's run-scoring single in the fourth made it 8-2 Cavs, and Guenthart's two-run homer in the sixth gave SGU a 7-run advantage, seemingly putting the game away.

But Bacone battled back. Tony Mendez hit a three-RBI double in the seventh, and Jean Ortiz matched that with his own bases loaded-clearing two-bagger to cut the lead to one run in the eighth. The big hits from Mendez and Ortiz were their only hits of the game.

Cavalier pitcher Joey Moreno retired two of the first three batters he faced in the ninth, but then gave up a game-tying RBI single and two walks to load the bases. Guenthart came on in relief of Moreno but walked designated hitter Kyle Pietryga to end the game.

Moreno suffered the loss and fell to 3-6 on the season. He gave up five runs on five hits and walked three in 2-1/3 innings. SGU pitchers walked 13 Warriors in all.

Jacob Ratliff went 1-for-3, extending his hitting streak to 13 games.

The Cavaliers return to conference play Thursday when they host Mid-America Christian University. That doubleheader is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Bill Nicklas Field.
