It was a rough way to end the season for a team that had been one of the best in the country over the last two months. Oklahoma rolled off five straight series wins to close the Big 12 regular season, won the Big 12 tournament title, and played great in the NCAA tournament, losing just two games before running into Ole Miss.
Against Ole Miss, the Sooners couldn’t get the bats going and got in their own way at times with costly wild pitches and errors. Their inability to take advantage of runners in scoring position is what was ultimately their downfall as they only earned one run with a bases-loaded one-out situation in the deciding game after getting nothing with the bases loaded and nobody out on Saturday.
While it was an unfortunate end to the season, that shouldn’t take away from the tremendous year that Oklahoma had on the diamond. Sooners Nation was hoping for one more game, but despite the loss, offered their support for the way the ball club fought to get to the championship series.
Let’s take a look at some of the best reactions. There were some thoughts about the interference call, but mostly this is a time to appreciate the moments the Oklahoma Sooners baseball team provided in 2022.
