Josh Guy hit a two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to propel top-seeded Lee University to a thrilling 6-5 victory over Oklahoma City University Wednesday in the 52nd Avista NAIA World Series at Harris Field.

Guy’s blast gave Lee the win and kept the flames as the only undefeated team left in the tournament. Lee will have a two-for-one chance to win the national championship as they will play Lewis-Clark State Thursday at 7 p.m. If Lee wins, the Flames will capture their first NAIA baseball national championship. If Lewis-Clark State wins, the same two teams will play for the title Friday at 7 p.m.

OCU’s Landon Camp seemingly had given the Stars the win with a two-run shot in the top of the eighth inning, giving them a 5-4 lead. That erased a 4-3 Lee lead that was brought on when Brian Bistagne doubled home two in the seventh.

But with Ryan Stovall on and two outs, Guy hit an off-speed pitch from Brad Riddle over the left-field fence to give Lee the lead. Stovall gave up a walk and a single in the ninth but struck out David Mann to end the game.

Lee improves to 63-8 and Oklahoma City finishes its season at 57-12.
