OC was back on the diamond in Alberta this Easter weekend against the University of Calgary Dinos, whacking 69 hits and out-scoring the Dinos 54 to 19.
Sophomore pitcher Chris Wyslobocki began the festivities on Friday for Game one. Wyslobocki commanded the mound for seven innings, not allowing any of the Dinos any significant offence with zero runs, five hits, four walks and struck out eight players.
OC would be impressive at bat as well, with every player hitting except for one. Senior Jake Fischer, who boasts a league-leading 23 RBI, and Junior Noah Wood-Jolivet were both three for five with two RBI. Seven other Coyotes would have 2 hits to add to the 21 hits in the game.
OC shutout the Dinos in game one and won 13-0, setting the tone for the upcoming matches which would all reach double-digit scores.
