OKWU would score four unanswered in the fourth inning to put Avila away and finalize the 7-3 scoreline.
Avila had a few more opportunities in the second game, but four errors hurt their chances.
Oklahoma Wesleyan scored the first five runs of the game with runs scored in each inning from the third through the seventh.
In the sixth, Avila cut into the OKWU lead with an RBI single from Madison Kelly and a run-scoring error to plate McKayla Cotton.
Avila had two runners in scoring position in the bottom of the seventh, but were unable to capitalize and dropped the second game of the KCAC doubleheader.
Looking to get back in the win column, the Eagles head to McPherson for a doubleheader with the Bulldogs on Friday beginning at 2 PM.
