NORMAN, Okla. - The Oklahoma baseball team celebrated Easter in grand fashion by winning the second game of Sunday's doubleheader 6-5 in the 11th inning to take the series, two games to one. Down 5-4 in the ninth, Oklahoma scored a run to push the game to extra innings, and in the 11th, Reggie Willits hit a walk-off single to right field to bring in Ryan Richardson and ice the game. All six of OU's runs were scored with two outs and with the win, Oklahoma improved to 18-9 (6-3 Big 12), while Baylor fell to 20-11 (9-6 Big 12). OU is now tied with Oklahoma State for first place in the rugged Big 12 Conference.
Evan Greusel (3-1) got the win for Oklahoma after pitching 3.2 innings and allowing just two walks, while striking out three. Greusel intentionally walked the first batter he faced and after allowing a base on balls, retired the next 14 Bears in order. Kyle Edens (3-4) took the defeat for Baylor after giving up two runs on four hits.
Baylor took an early 3-0 lead as catcher Paul Richmond hit a two-run home run and Mike Huggins singled in a run in the top of the first inning. In the second inning, Jason Fransz belted his eighth home run of the season over the left field wall to make the score 3-1. Baylor tallied a run in the second to get its three-run lead back, but in the fourth, Luke Alexander smacked a double to right center to bring home Fransz and Charlie Frasier and bring the game to 4-3, BU.
Oklahoma pulled even in the fifth inning as Matt Bose doubled, advanced to third on a Denver Kitch sacrifice bunt and scored on a balk by BU pitcher Justin Taylor. Baylor scored a run in the eighth to go ahead once more, and Kitch hit a deep sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth to bring Matt Fisher home and push the game to extra frames.
Richardson singled to lead off the 11th and advanced to send on a wild pitch by Edens. BU recorded two outs, however Willits brought home the winning run for the second time this season. Against Missouri on March 8, Willits drove in the game-tying run to push the game to extra innings and in the 12th frame, singled to bring home Denver Kitch.
Michael Bradbury pitched five innings and allowed just one run on four hits, while striking out four Bears. Curtis White entered the game at the beginning of the sixth inning and retired his first seven batters in a row. Willits registered two hits, while Alexander was 2-for-3 with two runs batted in.
Oklahoma is next in action on Tuesday, as it travels to Arlington, Texas, to face to the UTA Mavericks in a 2 p.m. start. OU then travels to Nebraska for a three-game set with the highly-ranked Cornhuskers, who lost two of three games this weekend at Kansas State. Game times are set for 6:30 on Friday, 2 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. on Friday at NU's Haymarket Park.
