NOC Enid eyes revenge against Cowley

By Bruce Campbell, Staff Writer Enid News and Eagle The Enid News and Eagle Sun Mar 10, 2013, 09:55 PM CDT

ENID, Okla. —

Northern Oklahoma College Enid’s baseball team (3-12) will be out to avenge last week’s 13-11 loss to Cowley County (Kan.) in a single nine-inning game at 3 p.m. today at Arkansas City, Kan.

The Cowboys had 14 hits in the game but took advantage of 12 walks, two hit batsmen and four wild pitches. Matt Anderson was 3-for-4 with four RBI. Cory Linn was 2-for-4 with four RBI.

Korbin Polston had three RBI for the Jets while Aaron McCandless was 2-for-4 with three runs scored and an RBI.

“They had eight runs on four hits at one point,’’ said NOC Enid coach Raydon Leaton. “That’s backward where it should be. We need to get that under control.’’

Jets pitchers have struck out 99 batters in 108 innings, but have walked 88.

“From the coaches I’ve been talking to, that’s about the norm for everybody,’’ Leaton said. “The weather has had a big part of it. It’s more like February 1 now instead of March 10. Once we get on the field consistently, things will take care of itself.’’

The Jets will start either Timberlake freshman Stetson Buller (1-1, 6.43 ERA) or Zach Bradford (0-2, 5.28) against the Cowboys.

NOC Enid is hitting .246 as a team and has a fielding percentage of .923 with 39 errors in 15 games.

“If we put all three of the game together, we can beat anybody,’’ Leaton said. “We haven’t done that yet, but we have to keep a positive attitude. We still have 40 games left; there’s a lot of baseball to be played. A lot can happen between now and May.’’

NOC Enid’s scheduled game Tuesday at Butler (Kan.) Community College has been rescheduled for March 18.

The Jets will travel to Rose State for a doubleheader Thursday and will host the Raiders in a 1 p.m. doubleheader Saturday at David Allen Memorial Ballpark.

Polston leads the NOC Enid attack with a .395 average with two homers and 14 RBI.

He is followed by Chase Knott (.356, 11 RBI), McCandless (.320, 10 RBI) and Sammy Terry (.305, 12 RBI).ğ

Sooners zero in on Big 12
Oklahoma has made a complete turnaround in the last two days. The squad that looked dominant early in the season has re-emerged at the Big 12 tournament. The Sooners (38-19) rolled to their second straight tournament victory, thumping Texas Tech (25-30), 8-0, Friday, and improving to 2-0 in the event.
After three weeks of struggling, the team OU thought it would be surfaced. The mix of premier pitching and timely hitting was overwhelming to Baylor on Thursday and Texas Tech on Friday.
More importantly, the victories set up the Sooners’ meeting with Kansas State, which topped Baylor 13-9 Friday, at 12:30 p.m. today. The winner advances to Sunday’s championship game.

Claborn pleased with WHS progress
The Deer Creek-Lamont team camp has given Waukomis football coach Jon Claborn an idea of how much his team has progressed over the past year.
A newly hired Claborn a year ago took his team to the DCLA camp with three days of spring football behind them.
“We’re leaps and bounds ahead of where we were last year,’’ Claborn said. “We have looked really good ... we’re a year older, stronger, and hopefully, a year smarter.’’
The DCLA camp has offered the Chiefs good competition with teams such as defending Class B state runner-up Pond Creek-Hunter, Coyle and the host Eagles among the participants.
