Oklahoma (5-6) is set to return to L. Dale Mitchell Park on Tuesday night when they host UT-Arlington (5-5) in a rematch of their game a little less than two weeks ago at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. On that night, the Sooners had one of their more complete performances of the young season with a 7-1 win over the Mavericks.
Oklahoma is hoping for a bounce back week on their home soil after a disappointing performance overall at the Frisco College Baseball Classic. Other than a big offensive outburst against Missouri in the third game of four at Dr. Pepper Ballpark, few things went right at the event for the Sooners – specifically with the starting pitching.
Arizona put up staggering offensive numbers in their two games against Oklahoma to start the weekend and then Dallas Baptist closed the week with a big day behind the plate of their own. Skip Johnson’s club could certainly use a bounce back outing on Tuesday night to steer things back in a positive direction moving forward.
This will be the 37th all-time meeting between the Sooners and UT-Arlington, with Oklahoma taking 25 of the first 36 including each of the last four. This will be a welcome return back to Norman for the squad after playing nine straight games away from home, and will be the first time fans will be able to be back in the ballpark at L. Dale Mitchell Park this season.
