The first fall baseball season in the new Okarche complex opened Saturday, with an 8-0 Warrior win over the Leedey Bison.
In the bottom of the third inning, with the Warriors up 2-0 and two on base, pitcher Brett Carnott knocked a ball into the gray, overcast sky above left field.
“I did not think it was getting out at first,” Carnott said. “I looked up and it was gone. Took a trot.”
In the bottom of the second inning, Cody Endres, left fielder, belted a shot to left field that stayed fair, driving in the first run of the game as Endres notched a double.
The Warriors were 3-1 for the fall season after defeating Leedey following wins over Fort Cobb and Lomega on the road.
The Warriors played a second game Saturday against Hydro-Eakly, earning a 4-2 win.
Okarche plays at home at 5 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 17 vs. Ripley.
