Diamond Cats Fall to No. 1 Oklahoma City, 9-2

CLAREMORE, Okla. - The newly crowned No.1 Oklahoma City Stars cranked out 14 hits en route to a 9-2 victory over Rogers State Thursday afternoon at the Hillcat Complex.
 

RSU held the Stars down until the fifth when they scored three runs with two outs to stake a 5-1 lead. Ryan Littlejohn answered with a solo home run to left field in the bottom of the inning. However, the Cats were held scoreless the rest of the way.
 

OCU starter Ashur Tolliver kept the RSU bats in check with a fastball that topped out in the low 90's. He tossed 7.2 innings and yielded just two runs, one earned, on five hits to improve to 5-0 on the season. Hillcat starter Sam Cornell (2-1) suffered his first loss of the season with five innings of work.
 

Sammy Lee singled to start the fifth for OCU but appeared to be stalled at first after back-to-back fly outs. B.J. Wheeler, Landon Camp, Jason Muchado and Kirk Walker followed with four straight singles to give the Stars a four-run lead. OCU tacked on two runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth to reach the final margin.
 

Walker and Brandon Moss led the OCU offense with three hits apiece. Travis Harold belted two doubles for RSU and was the only Hillcat to record a multi-hit game.
 

Rogers State (10-7, 2-5) will travel to Oklahoma City Saturday afternoon to complete the three-game conference series against the Stars. First pitch of Saturday's doubleheader has been moved up to 1 p.m.
