The Oklahoma Sooners (317) dropped their game last night to #15 Dallas Baptist 6-0 as OU failed to score for the first time since 2022 (per the article). Dallas Baptist scored on a solo HR to open the 2nd inning, a two-run HR in the 4th and then 3 runs in the 9th on a RBI walk, a wild pitch and a RBI single.

The Sooners sent 9 pitchers to the mound last night in what must be a 'clear the bullpen night' after six games in 8 days. The Sooner pitchers allowed 9 hits, 5 walks and 10 Ks in the game along with the two HRs. Juggling the pitching staff week-to-week is a thankless and difficult job for any teams coaches.

On offense, the Sooners only had five hits with one double along with 3 walks and 6 strikeouts. Jason Walk, playing for John Spikerman in CF, was 2 for 3 last night with a SB after picking up his first hit as a Sooner on Sunday. I heard on the Channel 9 Sports last night that Spikerman is out for the Sooners for 6 to 8 weeks but Blevins did not say why. I am guessing a leg issue.

Teddy Lehman is going to be livid with this result. He has been, jokingly, calling Dallas Baptist as a thorn in the Sooner's side.
