The Oklahoma Sooner Baseball Team picked up a walk-off win in the 3rd game of the series with Kansas State on Sunday to sweep the Big 12 series. The walk-off hit was supplied by Scott Mulder as he singled with two outs after Anthony Mackenzie had doubled with 1 out in the final inning. The single drove in Mackenzie for the win 8-7 for Oklahoma.
Early in the game, it was all Oklahoma as the Sooners scored 2 runs in the 2nd inning on a Mulder HBP followed by a Jaxon Willits 2-run HR. In the 3rd inning, Easton Carmichael got things started with a single. Mackenzie followed with another single. Mulder then singled in a run before Willits hit his 2nd HR for 3 more runs for the Sooners. The Sooners led 6-0 after the 3rd inning.
Sooner starting pitcher Grant Stevens tossed 4 scoreless innings to open the game but ran into trouble in the 5th. After a single followed by a 2-run HR, Stevens gave way to Brendon Girton who pitched through the 5th and 6th and gave up two more runs in the 5th but pitched a scoreless 6th with the Sooners leading 6-4. With Girton still on the mound, K-state opened the 7th with a single. Carter Campbell came into the game in relief and gave up a double and a single before he got a double play ball as K-State scored 2 runs to tie the game before the 7th inning ended. The score was now 6-6 and it was a new ballgame between the Sooners and the Wildcats. Campbell pitched a scoreless 8th inning to complete his day of work.
In the bottom of the 8th, Oklahoma scored another run. With one-out, Isiah Lane walked. John Spikerman who has been out a while with an injured hand, entered the game with as a pinch runner. Spikerman promptly stole second base to get into scoring position. Rocco Garza-Gongora then hit a ball to second base that the K-State fielder could not handle as Spikerman scored from second base on the play and RGG reached first safely. That put Oklahoma back in the lead at 8-7 with one inning to play.
In the top of the 9th, OU used three relievers Carson Atwood got the call first as he struck out the first Wildcat to open the inning. The next hitter, Ingram, found a pitch however and hit a solo HR to tie the score at 8-8. James Hitt was called on out of the bullpen and he recorded an out on a popup. Ryan Lambert was then called on to pitch and he got the final out of the inning on a fly ball to RF.
In the bottom of the 9th, OU got a one-out double by Mackenzie. With two outs, Mulder once again got a hit on a single to score Mackenzie for the Sooner walk-off win. Sooners win 9-8 and sweep Kansas State.
The Sooner sweep of Kansas State enabled Oklahoma to keep pace with West Virginia who also swept UCF in Morgantown. Both teams are 11-4 in conference play.

I want to apologize to Scott Mudler. I seemed to have been lost in the X-Files as I have typed and referred to as Mulder by mistake which is just wrong. I will get it right from now on.
