Coming off of a sweep against the UCF Knights, Skip Johnson and the Sooners looked to continue their hot streak against Oklahoma State. Keep in mind, this game does not count as a Big 12 conference game.
Oklahoma State wasted no time getting their offense going. Jaxson Crull lead the game off with a single to center field, then advanced to second base on a wild pitch. Carson Benge then singled to move Crull to third base. Crull then scored on an infield single from Aidan Meola. After a hit by pitch to Colin Brueggeman, Tyler Wulfert doubled off the center field wall with the bases loaded to score two more Cowboy baserunners. The next pitch, Kollin Ritchie blasted a three-run home run to give the Cowboys a 6-0 lead. After giving up a walk to Avery Ortiz, Sooner starter Will Carsten was removed from the game after only getting one out. Carter Campbell came in to replace him. In his second at bat of the inning, Jaxson Crull laid down a sacrifice bunt to score Ortiz and give the pokes a 7-0 lead.
The Sooners responded with some offense of their own in the bottom of the first. John Spikerman was hit by a pitch to start the inning and advanced to third on a single from Bryce Madron. Anthony Mackenzie reached base via a walk. Sooner third baseman Michael Snyder came through with a two-run single against OSU starter Ryan Bogusz to make the score 7-2 in favor of the Pokes.
In the bottom of the second, Aidan Meola got on base with a one-out single. He advanced to second on a fielder's choice. Meola then scored on an error to third base that went through Michael Snyder's legs to tack on one more run for the Pokes and make it 8-2.
Carter Campbell gave up one more run in the top of the fourth by an RBI single from Carson Benge. The Pokes stretched their lead to 9-2. Campbell was replaced by true freshman Brad Pruett. The first pitch that Brad Pruett was a two-run home run by Tyler Wulfert to make it 11-2.
After the Pokes loaded the bases against Pruett in the top of the fifth, he was taken out of the game and Jett Lodes replaced him. Lodes was able to get out of that jam without allowing any runs.
In the bottom of the fifth, Sooners loaded the bases after a walk to Jaxon Willits, a single by Bryce Madron, and a hit by pitch from Anthony Mackenzie. Michael Snyder walked to score Willits, making it 11-3. Jackson Nicklaus followed that up with a walk of his own to bring home Madron. The Sooners still trailed 11-4. The Sooners added one more run in the bottom of the sixth on a fielder's choice from Bryce Madron that scored Jaxon Willits.
The Pokes added two more in the top of the seventh on an two RBI single from Jaxon Crull. This gave them a 13-5 lead. Colin Brueggemann homered to center field in the top of the eighth inning against Sooner reliever Jayce Miner, which stretched the Poke lead to 14-5.
That ended the scoring for the game and the Sooners fell to Oklahoma State with a final score of 14-5 and their record moves to 9-6.
The Sooners will play tomorrow at 6:00 PM against UT-Arlington in Arlington.
