Oklahoma is looking for a split at the Frisco College Baseball Classic this week after dropping the first two games to Arizona and blowing out Missouri on Saturday night.
The two games against the Wildcats were characterized by poor pitching with Arizona putting up an astonishing 32 runs over the course of the two games. On Saturday night, it was the Sooners putting up the gaudy run total as they hung 16 on the board their win over Missouri.
It was a tightly contested game with the old Big 12 foe, but Oklahoma exploded in the late innings scoring 10 of their 16 in the final three innings. It was a win that was sorely needed to try and salvage what had started out as a disastrous week in Frisco.
The Sooners now turn their attention to Dallas Baptist on Sunday night with left-hander Jake Bennett on the mound. The Patriots have done the reverse of Oklahoma so far, winning the first two games over Missouri behind really good pitching before allowing 15 runs to Arizona yesterday to take their first loss of the event.
With the way the week began, getting out of town with a split would be huge before returning to Norman for home games next week. This is a big game for the Sooners.
The matchup with the Patriots is set for 6:00 p.m. CT tonight and can be watched on FloBaseball.tv and heard on Sportstalk 1400 AM/99.3 FM and the Tune In App.
