Box Score OMAHA, Neb. -- The Omaha baseball team capped the regular season Saturday afternoon, trouncing Oral Roberts 11-5 at the Ballpark at Boys Town. With the win, the Mavericks improved to 28-26 (18-12 Summit League) on the season, while the Golden Eagles dropped to 34-18 (22-8 Summit League).

Sophomore right-hander Corey Binger (8-3) earned the win, allowing three runs on eight hits with no walks and six strikeouts over his 6.0-inning start. The loss was tagged to ORU starter Cale Tims (6-2), who surrendered three runs on five hits and three walks with a strikeout in 3.0 innings of work.

Senior Collin Leif, one of six Maverick seniors honored with Senior Day festivities, led the way at the plate. The Bemidji, Minn., native finished 3-for-4 with a run scored and drove in four more. Sophomore Adam Caniglia (3-for-5, two runs, one RBI) and freshman Jack Kalina (3-for-5, two runs) also had three hits apiece, and Caniglia belted his second home run of the season, which was Omaha's only extra-base hit.

Sophomore Ryan Cate (2-for-5, two RBI) and junior Sam Palensky (2-for-5, two runs, one RBI) also had multi-hit performances. As a team, the Mavericks finished with 17 hits and scored in every frame but the fourth and the eighth.

Omaha went up 1-0 in the bottom of the first inning, using two hits and an error. With one down, senior Cole Gruber walked, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error before a Cate RBI single to center plated the Mavericks' first run of the day.

Oral Roberts came back to tie the game in the second with Michael Hungate's two-out solo homer to left, which made it 1-1.

The tie was short-lived, however, as UNO regained the lead in the bottom half of the frame. Senior Alex Schultz worked a leadoff walk and stole second, and freshman Riley Herold drew a second walk to put two runners on. Leif pushed both into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt, and a sacrifice fly to center by senior Clayton Taylor scored Schultz for a 2-1 tally.

Omaha added another run in the third, loading the bases with singles by Caniglia and Kalina and a Schultz hit-by-pitch. Herold then singled up the middle to drive in Kalina, and UNO's edge was stretched to 3-1.

The Mavericks erupted for five runs off six hits in the fifth. Caniglia, Kalina and Palensky posted consecutive singles, with Palensky's driving in Caniglia. After a Schultz sacrifice bunt put Palensky and Kalina in scoring position, Herold walked to load the bases and prompt an ORU pitching change. Leif then knocked in two runs with a single up the middle, and a Gruber RBI single through the left side two batters later pushed Herold across for another run. Cate followed with an RBI single to the same spot, driving in Leif for an 8-1 tally.

In the sixth, Oral Roberts broke through for two runs on four hits. Nick Roark got on with a leadoff single to center and scored immediately on Noah Cummings' RBI double down the left field line. Cummings later came in on Trevor McCutchin's single through the right side, trimming UNO's lead to 8-3.

Leif was the instigator again in the bottom half of the sixth, driving in both of Omaha's runs. Palensky and Schultz both got on with singles, and after a Herold walk loaded the bases, Leif stroked a two-run single to left center for a 10-3 advantage.

UNO put up its final run in the seventh when Caniglia crushed a leadoff homer to left for an 11-3 lead. Oral Roberts came back with a two-run homer to left by Brent Williams in the eighth, but the damage had already been done as Omaha claimed the final game of the regular season, 11-5.

Omaha returns to action next week with its first appearance at the Summit League Baseball Championship. The second-seeded Mavericks open the tournament on Wednesday, May 25 against third-seeded Fort Wayne, with first pitch set for Noon at J.L. Johnson Stadium in Tulsa, Okla.
