The most exciting game of the season was saved for the end of the 2011 Lone Star Conference Baseball Championship as Southeastern Oklahoma rode the arm of Heath Wyatt to an exciting 7-6 win over Cameron in a 14-inning thriller.

Wyatt finished the tournament off with 13 innings of relief to pick up his sixth win of the season in his longest outing. He scattered five hits and only allowed one run while striking out eight to earn championship Most Valuable Player honors.

SE’s Justin Miller had an outstanding tournament going 5-for-7 in the second game, while scoring the game-winning run.  Miller led off with a single and moved over to second on a wild pitch before Blake Gentry grounded out advancing him to third. 

With two outs, Eric Walker recorded the biggest hit of the championship, a single up the middle that scored Miller and gave the Savage Storm their first NCAA regional berth since 2003.

SE forced the “if-necessary game” by coming through the loser's bracket and handing Cameron their first loss of the tournament, 10-4. 

CU got an outstanding outing from Ricky Cramer, who pitched eight innings, in a no-decision with seven strikeouts and four walks. Cramer was coming off a complete game in the tournament opener for the Aggies as he scattered 11 hits.

SE improved to 34-17 on the season and earned the LSC’s automatic bid to the NCAA South Central Regional. CU fell to 33-16 on the year and will wait to see if they earn an at-large bid.
