Sooner baseball headed to the Gainesville regional.

As the second seed there. Florida, Liberty and Central Michigan. Liberty is pretty good. We'll face them first.

Those other teams probably aren't too thrilled about the smoking-hot Sooners coming to town.

When you play baseball or softball at an SEC based regional, you have more to overcome than just the top seeded team's talent on the field. We'll pitch to a smaller strike zone when we face the Gators.

Our bullpen has been sharp the past month or more. There are several other regional locations that could have been much harder to advance. OU is ranked higher than the Gators. OU has played 4 teams in the top 25 without too much damage to the W-L column this year. Both SEC and Big 12 have 5 teams in the Top 25 final ranking and Florida is not one of them. All things considered we should be in very good shape to advance.

But Florida played well enough at the end of the season to get to host a regional. Meanwhile, the Big XII regular season champ with a better record, goes on the road.

There are several regionals being hosted by schools with a lesser record and poorer "draw" attractiveness. It is no secret that the selection process to host regionals is a secret.

The red hot Sooners beat the Florida Gators 9-4 in the winners bracket tonight. Now just one win away from a Super Regional. Boomer!

 

[Plainosooner]

And Florida has to win three straight to beat us.

Sunday night, it's the Sooners vs. the Gators again.

Off topic: Stillwater Regional.
Yesterday, the Pokes blew a 10-5 lead to lose to Arkie 20-12.
Today, the Pokes were down 12-0 to Missouri State and rallied back to win 29-15.

That is beyond crazy.

That was hard to watch, esp the 7th inning. Winner takes all tomorrow. Baseball and softball both play early games.

Today, the OU bats need to come alive and stop the stupid mistakes.

Eight hours and forty minutes after the first pitch (rain delay), OU finally knocks off Florida 5-4 to advance to the Super Regional in Blacksburg, VA. Sweet 16 baby! BOOMER!
