BARTLESVILLE, Okla. - The Pioneers lost their season opener at #9-ranked Oklahoma Wesleyan on Wednesday. The Pioneers got on the board in the top of the 1st when
Joshua Crispin led off with a double and
Cristian Rivera singled him home. In the bottom of the 1st, OKWU loaded the bases with no outs. Two strikeouts almost ended the threat, but an error was followed by a double and a homer and 6 runs scored before it was over. MNU trailed 9-1 when
Josh Compton doubled home
Austin Healy in the 5th, and the Pioneers added 2 more in the 8th with a
Joshuan Sandoval sac fly and a
Juwan Padro RBI single. But the Eagles scored 11 to win by 7.
Turning Point
OKWU's 6-run first was too much to overcome.

Austin Healy (2-4, R) had 2 hits apiece.
