(May 15, 2022) Enid, Oklahoma - After finishing last night/this morning's game at 1:30 am, the Bucks were back in David Allen Memorial Ballpark today fighting to stay alive in the Plains District Tournament. The Bucks had to go through Murray State College to keep their hopes alive to play at 4 pm against NOC-Enid. 

Grant Shankle (Van Buren, AR) got the start on the mound for the Bucks and worked a scoreless first inning. The Aggies struck first in the top of the second inning with a 2-run home run, but the Bucks fought back in the bottom half with a run of their own. A pair of 2-out walks loaded the bases, and Cole Clark (Clarksville, AR) would walk to cut the lead to 2-1. Murray State added another run in the top of the third inning before the Bucks tie the game at 3-3. With the bases loaded and 1 out, Mason Reynolds (Fort Worth, TX) hit a sac fly. Next at-bat, Jackson Baker (Sherwood, AR) would hit a RBI single to tie the game.

Shankle cruised through the fourth and fifth innings, but the Bucks couldn't take the lead. In the sixth, Shankle would surrender 4 runs in the top half before being chased from the game. Cooper Perry (Avinger, TX) would come in and pitch in relief to get the Bucks out of the inning. In the bottom half, the bases were once again loaded, and Trace Watkins (Sheridan, AR) would hit a 1-out sacrifice fly to center field to make it 7-4 after six.

Cooper Perry worked a scoreless seventh, eighth, and ninth innings for the Bucks. In the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bucks went down in order to fall 7-4, ending their season.
