Shawnee, OK- The SBU softball team took on the Oklahoma Baptist Bison in a doubleheader matchup this evening. Bearcats fell just short in game one 4-5 but turned right around picking up a big win over the Bison 10-2 in game two.
 
"I'm glad we took the second game! The defense made a lot of good plays behind their pitchers in both games and our pitchers did a solid job as well. The team knows we had adjustments that first game offensively, we should have made, and they made them in the second game. Very happy with the team's response and I really hope to see them carry this into tomorrow."
-Head Coach Carly Adkins
 
Hallie Henderson took the mound in game one, not allowing a run until the third inning. The Bison would tie the game up in the 4^th and score the go ahead run in the 6^th.
