Box Score 2 OTTAWA, Kan. — The bats were loud in game one and the pitching was lights-out in game two as Ottawa University completed a doubleheader sweep over William Woods University on Sunday at Alumni Park.
Game 1 — Ottawa 5, William Woods 1
Ottawa answered an early William Woods run with a three-run first inning and never looked back. The Braves added two more in the fifth to create comfortable separation, while the defense played clean softball behind a strong complete-game effort in the circle.
How It Happened
After the Owls struck first in the top of the first, Ottawa exploded in the bottom half. A triple and timely extra-base hits flipped the momentum instantly. The Braves added insurance in the fifth capitalizing on pressure and defensive miscues.
