LA GRANDE, Ore. – Logan Macy lined a tenth inning go-ahead RBI double, helping Oregon Tech complete a 3-game Cascade Conference series sweep of Eastern Oregon at Optimist Field.
 
The Owls (11-7, 4-3 CCC) held on for a 9-8 victory in the league counter, while EOU used a 6-run eighth inning to steal a 10-7 decision in the non-conference finale.
 
After sweeping a Saturday doubleheader, OIT had to battle back for win in today's opener. Tech scored three first inning runs, including two on a Dylan Edwards single and built a 5-3 lead in the fourth on a 2-run Logan Pontecorvo single.
 
The Mountaineers (4-11, 1-5) returned the favor in the seventh, capitalizing on a bases loaded walk and hit-by-pitch, to take a 6-5 lead. The Owls answered, tying the game in the eighth on a Landon Cheney pinch-hit RBI single and taking a one-run lead in the ninth on a Jacob Cook ground out.
 
EOU forced extra innings, thanks to an Alex Olague RBI single, but OIT plated two in the tenth, as Macy ripped a 2-out RBI double and Andrew Sharp drove Macy in with a single. Tech worked around a solo homer from Jaxon Logsdon to close out the win.
 
Collin Hysell got the win in relief, allowing two runs on three hits, striking out five in three-plus innings of work. Pontecorvo was 3-for-3 in the victory, with Sharp adding two hits.
 
In the non-league game, the Owls built a 5-0 lead by the fifth inning – including a fourth inning solo homer from Sharp and a 2-run single from Cal Pickhardt.
 
Leading 7-4 in the eighth, EOU batted around against four Tech relievers, tying the game on a Mario Landeros 2-run double and taking the lead for good on Jace Nagler's second homer of the game.
 
The loss spoiled a quality start from Aiden Lundquist, who allowed three runs on seven hits in five-plus innings, striking out six. Three Tech players – Macy, Edwards and Pickhardt each had multi-hit games.
 
OIT continues their 22-game road trip to open the season next weekend with a 4-game series at College of Idaho.
