Delgado defeated Eastern Oklahoma State College 5-4 on Saturday to advance to face Jefferson College in the South Central District Championship game on Sunday.

James Davis’ and Nate Fury’s back to back RBI-singles in the second posted the first two runs of the game, scoring Daniel Brockhoeft and Angelo Bruno. Chad Gough-Fortenberry’s two-RBI double in the fourth scored Kevin Williams and Scott Fabre to close out the Delgado scoring. Eastern Oklahoma threatened, posting three runs in the fourth inning following a hit batter and two walks. The Mountaineers also scored a solo run in the sixth following two Delgado errors. Ben Mundell picked up the win in relief of starter Stone Speer, striking out five and allowing only three hits.
