MIDWEST CITY — Rose State used two seventh-inning rallies to sweep a junior college baseball doubleheader from Northern Oklahoma College Enid Wednesday.
The Raiders rallied from a 5-1 deficit to win the second game, 6-5 when Ethan Davis’ bases-loaded single scored Jordan Hawkins with the winning run.
Rose State scored two runs in the final inning to win the first game, 3-2. Hawkins singled in Garrett Crain with two out for the game winner.
The losses dropped the Jets to 0-3 for the season. All three losses have been by one run.
“Those were tough losses today, but we’re getting close,” said NOC Enid assistant coach Scott Mansfield.
“We got real nice efforts out of (pitchers Zack) Postoak and (Garrett) Kelly. We’re not geting discouraged (by the one-run losses), it’s early. At this time of the year, the hitting usually is a little slow to come around.”
Kelly, in the opener, gave up only one run over 42⁄3 innings, allowing five hits while striking out one and walking one.
Postoak, in the nightcap, allowed three hits and one run over four innings, striking out three and not walking a batter.
Enid’s Joe Black went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored to help the Raiders win the nightcap.
Former Plainsmen teammate Dillon Walker was 0-for-4.
NOC Enid will host Cloud County in a 2 p.m. doubleheader Saturday and a 1 p.m. doubleheader Sunday at David Allen Memorial Ballpark.

Lunt transferring to Illinois
Former Oklahoma State starting quarterback Wes Lunt is transferring to Illinois, returning to his home state after giving the Illini little consideration out of high school.
Lunt is from Rochester, Ill., and started five games last season as a freshman for the Cowboys, but was sidelined by an injury. He was the first true freshman to open the season as the starting quarterback at Oklahoma State since at least 1950.
The highly regarded Lunt will have to sit out this fall under NCAA transfer rules, but when he’s available in 2014 could be an instant upgrade for a struggling Illinois program and coach Tim Beckman, who is headed into his second season in Champaign. Beckman is a former OSU assistant coach. -
