KEIZER, Ore. – Oregon Tech (5-11, 1-5 NAIA-W)) dropped its 3^rd and 4^th games in row on Saturday, falling 10-0 and 6-4 to Corban University (4-10-1, 2-0 NAIA-W) in NAIA- West play at Volcanoes Stadium.
 
Game 1 Corban 10 Oregon Tech 0
 
Game one started well for the Warriors as they posted back-to-back four spots in the third and fourth.  Those runs were more than enough for Corban Ace Jonathan Russomano, who earned his first win of the season after tossing six shutout innings and striking out eight.
 
Game 2 Corban 6 Oregon Tech 4
 
The Owls struck first via an RBI single from reigning All-NAIA West First Baseman Josh Kallstrom, who would finish the contest 2-for-4.
 
An RBI groundout from Corban evened the score in the bottom half of the frame. Oregon Tech would put up two in the fourth and one in the fifth to take a 4-1 lead at the midway point.
 
The Warriors however would mount a five-run rally in the latter half of the fifth to claim the lead for good with three of Corban's five runs coming with two outs.
 
Four Owls—Kallstrom, Micah Jio (2-for-4), Austin Zavala (2-for-4), and Cole Walter (2-for-3)—ended the game with a pair of hits, but Oregon Tech was unable to find the big hit it needed, stranding 11 baserunners in the game-two defeat.
 
The Owls will conclude their four-game set against the Warriors tomorrow, with first pitch of the doubleheader set for 11 a.m. at Volcanoes Stadium in Salem, Ore.
