Carter Campbell had a monster series against Texas over the weekend. The junior was named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week after registering a win and a save in the three games against the Longhorns in Austin, where the Sooners got the road sweep.
He pitched 8.2 innings in three games last week and allowed just one run on five hits. Campbell had four strikeouts and didn’t allow a single walk across his three appearances.
Campbell entered in relief against Texas on Friday to help the Sooners earn the win in the final three innings, where he held Texas to just two singles. That performance earned Campbell his fifth win of the season.
On Saturday, he came in to preserve the lead in the sixth. Campbell allowed just one single and recorded three strikeouts to earn his first save at Oklahoma.
Campbell has been great in Big 12 play this season. He’s first in appearances in the conference and ranks third nationally. He’s 5-3 on the season with a 4.20 ERA. He’s allowed just one run over his last six appearances spanning 13 innings pitched. He’s allowed an opponent’s batting average of .234, which ranks second among Oklahoma pitchers.
The Sooners get back in action this week with four games at home. They host Oral Roberts on Tuesday night and then face Kansas in a conference series over the weekend.
