SE, ORAL ROBERTS DIVVY PAIR

TULSA, Okla. -- Southeast Missouri State University's baseball Indians bounced back here Saturday to salvage a doubleheader split against Oral Roberts.

ORU (22-21) won the opener 12-4 but Southeast (16-21) claimed the nightcap 7-2.

The teams will close out the three-game non-conference series at 1 p.m. today.

Two home runs and the pitching of Dave Siboda and Lanson DeBrock keyed Southeast's win in the second game.

Siboda (4-4) worked in and out of trouble over the first seven innings. He allowed seven hits and seven walks but the Golden Eagles managed only two runs while leaving 14 men on base.

DeBrock worked the final two innings in scoreless fashion.

LaMonte Collier and freshman Darin Kinsolving provided the offensive spark during a five-run third inning that broke the game open.

Collier had a two-run inside-the-park homer while Kinsolving left the park with a three-run shot for his third home run in less than a week.

Mike Miller had three of the Indians' 14 hits while Steve Goodman, Jeremy Johnson and Brad Hoehner joined Collier in getting two hits apiece.

In the opener, ORU scored 11 runs in the first four innings and breezed.

Southeast had nine hits, with Johnson getting three to go with three RBIs. Goodman added two more hits.

Troy Pehle (4-4) lasted just 3 1/3 innings as he allowed nine hits and nine runs.

Justin Buck gave up seven hits and three runs in 4 2/3 innings.
