Dallas, TX – March 4, 2025 – The No. 13 Oklahoma Sooners suffered a surprising 11-0 defeat against the No. 21 Dallas Baptist University (DBU) Patriots today at Horner Ballpark, marking the end of their perfect 11-0 start to the season. The game concluded after seven innings due to the run rule, which was invoked because of DBU's substantial 11-run lead.
After a remarkable series of games that included impressive top-10 victories against No. 7 Oregon State and No. 2 Virginia, the Sooners struggled against DBU's exceptional pitching and timely hitting. The Patriots took the lead in the third inning and maintained it throughout the game, scoring multiple runs while Oklahoma could only manage two hits. DBU's pitching staff, led by Ryan Borberg's outstanding performance, effectively neutralized the Sooners’ powerful offense, which had been performing at a high level leading up to this matchup.
The standout performance of the night came from Chayton Krauss at the plate for DBU. He went 3 for 4 in his at-bats, scoring 3 runs, including 2 home runs. Krauss also contributed a total of 6 RBIs for the Patriots in their decisive victory over the Sooners.
Many look at this win for DBU as totally unpredictable, but Sooner fans know that this team has been a thorn in their side in the past. For DBU, the upset victory adds to their growing reputation as a formidable force, especially at home, where they now hold a 7-4 edge over Oklahoma in recent years and 19-13 record overall record in the series. The loss marks a rare stumble for the Sooners, who will look to rebound as they prepare for their inaugural SEC slate, beginning with South Carolina on March 14-16.
This midweek clash serves as a reminder of college baseball’s unpredictability, with DBU seizing the moment and Oklahoma left to regroup ahead of a challenging conference schedule.
