Former Lady Wolverine, OBU softball team sweeps shortened series from SAU
By David Seeley Sports Editor

Former Vian Lady Wolverines softball player Greenlee Wells and the Oklahoma Baptist University Bison swept a shortened Great American Conference home series from Southern Arkansas University in Shawnee, taking both of Friday’s games by scores of 4-3 and 6-5 in 11 innings before having Saturday’s Game 3 canceled. Last week started for Wells and the Lady Bison lost a heartbreaking 7-6 road game to GAC rival Southern Nazarene University on April 22 in Bethany.

In Friday’s Game 1 win over SAU, Wells was hitless in two at-bats with a run scored, while going hitless in two atbats with a run scored.

In the road loss to SNU, Wells was 2-for-4 with her 16th home run and three runs batted in.

Through 50 games, Wells is batting .360 with 15 doubles, a triple, 16 homers, 52 RBI, 36 runs scored and seven stolen bases.

Wells and the Bison (34-16 overall, 25-7 in GAC play) will remain idle until playing in the Great American Conference Tournament, which will begin Thursday in Bentonville, Ark.
