MUSKOGEE, Okla. -- Bacone College pitcher Zach Willis limited UTB/TSC to one hit over nine innings to lead the Warriors to a 5-1 victory over the Scorpions to finish a three-game sweep here Saturday, February 23, at Warriors Field.

Bacone is now 11-2 this season while the Scorpions drop to 1-15.

Willis struck out eight Scorpions and walked three.

The Scorpions scored their lone run in the sixth when Walter Blume walked, went to third on a single by Jorge Camorlinga, and scored on Chris Walker's sacrifice fly.

The Scorpions had two runners on base on only other inning -- the seventh -- when Brian Dombeck was hit by pitch and Ignacio Celedon walked.

Bacone scored single runs in the second and third innings, and scored three times in the fifth.
