Little went right for the Oklahoma Sooners in game one of the College World Series finals against Ole Miss. The Rebels jumped ahead early with the aide of some Sooners’ miscues and a home run by Tim Elko that pushed the lead to 4-0 in the early going.
Oklahoma would cut the lead in half in the sixth inning but squandered an opportunity to do more damage when they came away with just one run with the bases loaded and nobody out.
But credit is due to Ole Miss reliever Mason Nichols who entered with the bases loaded and nobody out and surrendered only the one run on a bases-loaded walk.
Going into game two, the Oklahoma Sooners will turn to Cade Horton to help them pull the series even with Ole Miss and force a deciding game three on Monday.
