The Oral Roberts baseball team has completed its 2011 recruiting class with the signings of four student-athletes on Monday, head coach Rob Walton announced.

The signings include two players from Eastern Oklahoma State College in Wilburton -- right handed pitchers Joe Spring and Tyler Sparks.

The others are T.J. Bennett, an infielder from Red Mountain High School in Mesa, Arizona and right handed pitcher Matt Rush from Cypress College in California.

Six other student-athletes signed last fall.
 
"Overall I'm pretty pleased with our recruiting efforts," said Walton. "We lost a couple of guys to the draft and one to grades but we were able to plug some holes late in the spring and over the summer with some good players. Our recruiting class will help us compete and continue to better and grow the program."

ORU finished 36-and-27 last season, winning the Summit League tournament title and advancing to the NCAA Norman Regional.
