KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Kaila Mick had a 4-hit day and pitchers Kacie Schmidt and Mckenzie Staub each struck out seven batters, as No. 7-ranked Oregon Tech completed a series sweep of Corban University, winning 14-3 and 8-0 at Stilwell Stadium.
 
The Lady Owls (10-3, 3-0 CCC) ran their win streak to seven with the victories – taking advantage of 16 walks by Warrior pitching in the five-inning games.
 
"Great pitching and defense this weekend and we are starting to square-up on some balls like we are capable of," said OIT head coach Greg Stewart. "We did a better job being disciplined at the plate. I am proud of these ladies and how coachable they have been since Day 1."
 
Tech surrendered a first inning run in Game 1 on a Kelsey Betz RBI ground out – but scored the next 14 runs. The Owls plated six runs in their half of the first – taking advantage of two Warriors (1-10, 0-3) errors – with Lexi Klum, Jensen Becker and Nita Cook all recording RBI singles. OIT added six runs in the second, getting a 2-run single from Puakea Milbourne, a 3-run double from Cook and an RBI single from Mick.
 
It was more than enough for Schmidt, as the junior allowed just two hits with the seven strikeouts for her fourth win of the year. Milbourne was 3-for-3 with two runs scored and three RBI, Cook was 2-for-3 with four RBI, with Mick going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
 
Staub dominated Game 2 – as a second inning single from Betz was the lone hit of the game for Corban. The junior walked two with seven strikeouts in earning her second shutout of the season.
 
OIT broke the game open with a 4-run third, as RBI singles from Zoe Allen and Jayce Seavert were sandwiched around a 2-run single from Mick. The game ended on a walk-off walk from Maggie Buckholz in the fifth inning.
 
Mick was 2-for-4 with three RBI in the victory, with Allen going 2-for-2.
 
The Lady Owls hit the road next weekend for a 4-game series at No. 13-ranked College of Idaho.
