Walk Off Walk For The Win

After a nail biting back and forth battle, the UCO baseball team bucked SWOSU off of a questionable call.

Down 4-0 early, the Bronchos needed to call up Teddy Roosevelt for some advice. They got just what the doctor ordered. In the bottom of the second the big sticks came out closing the gap to a single run.

Just half way through the game it was already a slugfest. In the bottom of the sixth the bulldogs were up 9-8. They would continue to hover just ahead of the Bronchos until the absolute last possible second.

It's the bottom of the 9th with a tie ball game, the bases are loaded and the batter has a full count.

Jon Kamies (pictured right) is just the guy the Bronchos want in this scenario. The 6 foot 2 inch, 220 pound Senior All-American from Sapulpa, Oklahoma is living out a child's fantasy.

Although he does not deliver in the most typical way one would hope for a happy ending, he gets the job done by drawing a walk and winning the Bronchos the game

UCO finished off SWOSU 12-11 in an exciting shootout which even included an ejection. The Bronchos are headed to Bolivar, MO. to take on Southwest Babtist in a 3 day, 3 game road trip this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
