OZARK, Mo.- Drury swept Trevecca Nazarene in a doubleheader on Saturday winning 10-7 in game one and 7-3 in the second game at US Baseball Park in Ozark.
 
Drury won all three games in the weekend series against the Trojans and raised their record to 12-6 while dropping Trevecca Nazarene to 4-13.
 
The Panthers won game one coming from behind with a seven-run seventh inning. Trailing 5-3, Drury scored seven times highlighted by a three-RBI triple off the bat of Devan O'Bryan that gave the Panthers a 9-5 lead.
 
O'Bryan finished the game 3 for 4 with three RBI's while Shane Benes connected on a three-run home run, his ninth homer of the season.
 
Christian Vonderheide got the win in relief for Drury pitching 0.2 innings.
 
In game two, Caleb Essick broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh with a bases-loaded double that drove in three runs in a 7-3 Drury win.
 
O'Bryan had a three-RBI double in the second inning that gave the Panthers a 3-1 lead. He ended the game 1 for 3 with Trevecca Nazarene battled back to tie the game in the top of the seventh on an RBI-single by Bryson Shelton.
 
Vonderheide (2-0) got the win out of the bullpen in the second game as well going 1.2 innings and got the Panthers to the plate in the bottom of the seventh with the score tied at 3-3. Drury starter Austin Simms got a no-decision after going 6.1 innings allowing six hits and three runs with five walks and nine strikeouts.
 
Drury head coach Scott Nasby said he was pleased with the timely hitting from his team throughout the series. "Through the weekend we had six hits that had three RBI's each," he said. "When you can get three runs with one swing of the bat, you're going to win a lot of games. I was also pleased with how our bullpen bounced back from Friday's game. We got good innings from three different guys when they were challenged."
 
Drury is idle until next Saturday when they open play in the Great Lakes Valley Conference with a four-game series against Missouri S&T. Saturday's doubleheader starts at 2 p.m. at US Baseball Park.
