EL DORADO, Kan. — Northern Oklahoma College Enid pounded out 12 hits and defeated Butler County Community College 11-8 in El Dorado, Kan., Wednesday.
It was the Jets’ sixth victory in their last seven games, and their third straight after taking a doubleheader from Dodge on Tuesday. NOC Enid (11-6) has scored 10 or more runs in five games this season.

Jonathan Johnson earned the win on the mound for the Jets, going 42⁄3 innings, allowing five earned runs, striking out four and giving up four walks. Freshman Shawn Hunter earned the save after relieving Johnson and shutting down Butler County over the last three innings.

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.

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. - Travelers beat Majors in tournament opener
