Oran jumped on top with 4 in the second as they sent nine to the plate. They used 4 walks, 2 singles and a sacrifice fly.
It was 5-0 after the third when Drew Mitchem was hit by a pitch leading off. He came around on a pair of wild pitches sandwiched around a Reischman single.
The Bulldogs got their runs in the fourth with a double, a walk and a couple of singles.
Sikeston would not have another baserunner until the 7th and by then the game was all but decided.
The Eagles put the game away with a 5 run sixth. That inning featured 7 walks and Reischman's 4th single of the day.
The Bulldogs had a two-out single and walk before Reischman enticed an infield pop up to Mitchem at third to end the contest.
It was the second year in a row that Oran has defeated their much larger opponent to the south.
Sikeston used 8 different pitchers during the game. They started their conference tournament this afternoon.
