Oran 7, Delta 1

DELTA -- The Oran Eagles bounced back Monday afternoon after a tough loss over the weekend to beat the Delta Bobcats. It was a scoreless game until the top of the fourth, when Oran managed to put the first run on the board.

However, Delta managed to answer back in the fifth tying the game back up at 1-1. That would be as close as the Bobcats would get though as the Eagles would break the game open with four in the sixth and two in the seventh.

Picking up the win for Oran was senior Kody Campbell, who came in as relief for Jake Carter in the bottom of the fifth. Delta's Martin was credited for the loss.

At the plate, Tyler Beardslee led the way for the Eagles, going 2-4 with a home run.

Oran will be back in action Wednesday when they host the Advance Hornets at 4 p.m.
