HILLSBORO, Ore. – Like they did on Saturday, Oregon Tech took advantage of a plethora of Corban errors that allowed the Owls to win the weekend series. The Owls took advantage on Sunday winning the first game 6-2, and the second game 9-3. The two victories on Sunday improved the Owl's record to 5-5 on the season. This is the first time the program has won at least half of their first ten games since early 2018.
 
"Today was a great team win," said head coach Jacob Garsez. "We continue to improve on our consistency of playing the game one pitch at a time. Both Trask and Dylan did a great job of setting the tone on the mound and our guys competed well behind them."
 

Game One: Oregon Tech 6 Corban 2

Tech rode the back of senior pitcher Trask Telesmanich (Pictured) who threw seven complete innings for OIT, while only giving up a single earned run, and striking out nine.
 
The Owls grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 1st inning off a Mitchell Swanson triple, and never looked back en route to the 6-2 victory.
 
The Owls extended their lead in the 2nd off of a wild pitch to take a 2-0 lead. The Warriors lowered the deficit to 2-1 following an RBI single in the 3rd.
 
Tech then extended their one run lead to 5-1 in the 5th scoring twice on a fielder's choice and an RBI from Kellen Mendez. As the game slowed down, each team only scored one run each in the final four frames, resulting in a victory for the visiting Owls.
 
Tech starter Trask Telesmanich got the win, while Brendan Talonen pitched two innings in relief, only giving up one hit.
 
David Palmer led the Owls with 2-hits, while Kaleb Keelean drew a team-high four walks.
 

Game two: Oregon Tech 9 Corban 3

Tech shook off an early 2-0 deficit, scoring seven unanswered runs to grab a lead that they didn't relinquish. The Owls capitalized off of 11 hits and three Corban errors, to sweep the Sunday doubleheader.
 
The Warriors led the game off with an RBI triple and single to grab a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st.
 
 The Owls would shorten the deficit to 2-1 in the 2nd scoring off a Corban throwing error, but wouldn't open the game up until the 3rd.
 
In the 3rd inning, the Owls scored two runs off of RBI singles from Jesse Dunham and Micah Jio. The Owls would add a third run off a throwing error on a failed pickoff attempt from the Warriors.
 
Dylan Grogan picked up the win on the bump to improve to 1-1 on the year. He pitched 6 innings with 5 strike-outs, and only gave up two earned runs. Josh Davis and Cody Dubray pitched in relief to close the door and win the series for the Owls.
 
Jio, Swanson, Dunham, and Mendez led the Owls with two-hits each in the win.
 
The Owls will return to action next weekend as they travel to Lewiston, Idaho to face off against perennial powerhouse and No.24 ranked Lewis-Clark State College.
