The Lindenwood Lions baseball team swept a doubleheader against No. 1 Oklahoma City Saturday afternoon in St. Charles. The Lions won game one in extra innings 4-3 and game two 10-9.

The Lions jumped out to an early lead in game one. Adam Peacock led off the game with a walk and advanced to second on a perfectly performed hit-and-run with Mike Moore. With runners at first and second Shelby Anderson smoked a ball over the centerfielder's head for a double,  scoring both runners and giving the Lions a 2-0 lead. Anderson then advanced to third on a passed ball and was driven in by a Crispin Tarango sacrifice fly.

The Stars got on the scoreboard in the third inning after the Lions committed an error and threw a wild pitch. Oklahoma City scored another single tally in the fifth to cut the lead to 3-2 heading into the home half of the fifth inning.

Oklahoma City tied the contest up in the top of the sixth after Julien Pollard drove in Matt Presley on a looping liner over the second baseman's head.

The game headed into the bottom of the seventh tied. Lindenwood loaded the bases with just one out. Tarango had the first shot at being the hero, but popped up to the second baseman. Daniel Sandello then came to the plate and struck out sending the game into extra innings.

In the top of the eighth, the Stars went down in order. The first two hitters in the Lions eighth went down in order. Next to the plate was freshman Matt Tellor, who was pitch hitting. On a 1-0 pitch Tellor deposited the delivery over the left field wall for the walk-off win.
