GREELEY, Colo. (Interstat) — Nathan Love pitched seven innings of no-hit ball and the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles defeated the Northern Colorado Bears 3-1 on Friday, May 22, 2026, in a Summit League matchup.

Love allowed one unearned run, struck out five and walked none in his seven-inning start. The right-hander did not surrender a hit while facing 26 batters, lowering his earned run average after a rough outing against Omaha on May 10 when he gave up six earned runs in 2⅓ innings. His performance set the tone for Oral Roberts, which improved to 34-22 overall and won for the fourth time in its last five games.

Northern Colorado fell to 17-38.

The game remained scoreless until the top of the fourth inning when the Golden Eagles broke through against Bears starter Ethan Louthan. Wailele Kane Yates walked, Cooper Combs singled and Martell Davis walked to load the bases with one out. Cooper Kelly grounded out to first base, scoring Yates. Ethan Fender then singled to left field, driving in Davis and Combs for a 3-0 lead.

Louthan took the loss after allowing three runs on four hits and three walks in 3⅔ innings. He struck out two.

Northern Colorado answered in the bottom of the fourth. Jaden Stone singled, Logan Pruski singled and Ethan Mooser singled to load the bases with one out. Jake Bullard singled to center field, scoring Stone and cutting the deficit to 3-1. But Love struck out Mason Griffin and got Ethan Sanchez to ground out, ending the threat.

Love retired the side in order in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings, relying on his defense to erase a single baserunner in the fifth when Brett Barber singled but was erased on a double play.

Maddox Thornton relieved Love for the eighth and ninth innings, striking out two and allowing no hits to earn the save.

Oral Roberts had seven hits, with Fender going 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Will Edmunson doubled in the fifth but was left stranded.

Northern Colorado also had seven hits, with Bullard going 2-for-4 with an RBI. Stone and Mooser each singled in the fourth inning rally.

Trevor Landen pitched 4⅔ scoreless innings in relief for the Bears, allowing three hits and striking out one. Brady Hudson recorded the final two outs of the ninth without allowing a hit.

The Golden Eagles won the season series against the Bears, having taken four of the six meetings. Oral Roberts lost the series opener May 14 in Greeley but responded with 10-3 and 14-2 victories on May 15 and 16 before Friday’s win.

Interstat’s ELO system projected Oral Roberts with a 79.00 percent probability to win the game.
