The Sooner Baseball Team rallied after a brief deficit to Baylor last night and won going away 19-7. The Sooner offense kicked into high gear in the 4th inning and provided the win for the Sooners with a total of 16 hits, 10 walks and 4 HBP to score the 19 runs with 6 extra base hits.
Baylor took the lead after the top of the 2nd, 6-2. But in the 4th, OU tied it up at 6-all. The Sooner lead was 10-6 after 5 innings. But the Sooners outscored Baylor 9-1 over the last four innings for the win.
The pitching for OU started out roughly with Braden Davis who has been so good lately, giving up 6 runs, 5 earned in the first two innings. But Davis righted himself as he pitched into the 6th inning before giving up another run and pick up his 7th win on the season. Crooks, Carsten and Hensley added 3.1 innings of scoreless relief to close the game.
On offense here is how things went:
The Sooners had 8 of the 9 starters reach base in the game.
The Sooners magic number for the Big 12 Crown is now 3 as any combination of 3 wins or 3 losses by Texas or Oklahoma State wil produce a 1st place finish for the Sooners. Last night West Virginia dropped their game to Kansas State to drop them one game in back of Texas and OSU.
Great offense and pretty good pitching after the second inning for the Sooners.
Oklahoma and Baylor meet for the second game of the series Saturday at 4 p.m. CT. The series can be seen via SoonerVision on ESPN+ and heard locally in Oklahoma on SportsTalk 1400 AM/99.3 FM or nationwide on The Varsity app.

Sounds like OSU canceled their final game with TT today due to weather, so with that the Sooners have officially claimed the outright Big 12 regular season title and the #1 seed in the tourney.
I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong!
