Nyrop and Roder record solo home runs in 7-2 defeat

St. Paul, Minn. –  In the final weekend of the season, St. Thomas baseball is competing for the Summit League title. In game one against the defending champions, the Tommies (20-24, 14-10 Summit) fell to Oral Roberts (24-28-1, 13-13-1 Summit) at Koch Diamond.
 
After four scoreless innings in St. Paul, Oral Roberts was the first on the board on Thursday afternoon. The Golden Eagles scored in three straight innings, adding three more runs in their final at bat.
 
In the bottom of the eighth, Max Nyrop sent his seventh home run of the season over the fence, scoring the Toms' first run of the game.
 
An inning later, Joe Roder recorded a solo homer as the Tommies looked to make a ninth-inning comeback. However, the comeback bid fell short as Oral Roberts earned the 7-2 victory.
 
Seven different Tommies totaled seven hits in game one against Oral Roberts.
 
In career-high 5.0 innings of work, Bryce Leedle (1-3) totaled four scoreless innings in his second start of the season.
