Stars Rally for Sweep of MACU

Despite slow starts, OCU rallied to maintain their winning streak, now at 28 games. In the first game, Brynlee Alsip pitched a complete-game shutout, striking out nine. The second game saw OCU come back from a 4-1 deficit, securing the win with a last-inning rally fueled by key hits from Iliana Ashford and Peyton Barrow.
By the Numbers- OCU's win marked their 28th consecutive victory.
- Analise Rayburn hit her 20th home run of the season in the second game.

State of Play- OCU's momentum continues as they have now won 28 straight games.

OCU will look to carry their winning streak forward in the concluding doubleheader against MACU on Friday.
