Texas batters just need to stay back and foul off the fastballs. No one can hit an off speed ball when they are out in front and off balance.

Once again, the free pass comes back to bite Texas. Willis got hit by a pitch, stole second, advanced to third on a groundout by Gambill and scored just now on a double by Carmichael. It's a 3-1 lead for OU.

Saunier strikes out Christiansen to get out of the inning.

One run on one hit with one left on for the Sooners in the fifth.

End of 5: OU 3, Texas 1

Belyeu, Galvan and Flores due up in the sixth.

He can’t swing the bat for them.

Witherspoon retires the Longhorns in order in the sixth.

M6: OU 3, Texas 1

Their offensive approach has gotten worse as the season has progressed, it seems like every at bat is worse than the last one. They have gotten in the habit of making average to mediocre pitchers look like future Cy Young winners.

Tennessee up 4-2 in the 4th.

A nice sixth for Saunier. The Sooners go down in order.

End of 6: OU 3, Texas 1

Rodriguez leads off the seventh with his second double of the night.

That was a 10-pitch at-bat by Rodriguez.

Rodriguez goes to third on a passed ball, Borba draws a walk and that’s it for Witherspoon. Texas has runners on first and third with one out as the Sooners go to the bullpen.

Do I smell a come back by Texas?

These are not great pitchers.

 

With OU going to James Hitt, a lefty, Schloss has opted to bring in Gasparino for Jonah Williams.

Gasparino works a walk. The bases are loaded with one out.

That’s all for Hitt. Jason Bodin is on the mound for OU.

Look for a slew of off speed pitches now.  Stay back.

This pitcher is going top 10 overall in the draft 

Big time hit by Farmer.

Farmer!!!

We’re tied. Farmer rips a two-run single to left, scoring Rodriguez and Borba to make it a 3-3 game.

New approach gets it done!
