LAWRENCE, Kan. - Oklahoma rallied on Saturday to defeat Kansas 8-3 after the game was called when lightning and rain overook KU's Hoglund Ballpark on Friday night. At the time, there were two outs in the top of the sixth inning with Kansas leading 3-2. In Saturday's action, the Sooners scored three runs in the seventh inning and Charlie Frasier hit a three run homer in the ninth to earn the win. Buddy Blair (4-0) pitched four innings and allowed just two hits en route to the victory.
Frasier went 4-for-5 with four RBI and Jason Fransz went 3-for-3. Eddie Cornejo scored two runs and drove in two more. Oklahoma, which registered 14 hits on the game, improved to 30-20 overall and 12-10 in Big 12 play, while the Jayhawks fell to 21-25 and 4-17 in conference action. Before rain halted play on Friday evening, Mark Roberts pitched five innings and allowed three runs on six hits, while striking out three.
In the first frame, Fransz ripped a triple over the head of right fielder Matt Tribble, but the Jayhawks got out of the inning unharmed. Fransz singled up the middle in the third inning, bringing home Ryan Richardson, who doubled down the left field line and extended his hitting streak to eight, to give the Sooners a 1-0 lead.
KU broke through in the third inning, scoring three runs on four hits, including doubles in consecutive at bats by Tribble and Casey Spanish, to take a 3-1 lead. The Sooners made it 3-2 in the fifth after Cornejo doubled down the left field line and scored Reggie Willits from first base.
When play resumed on Saturday, OU had runners on second and third base with two outs. Chris Jakubauskas, pinch hitting for Brandon Jones, came into the at bat with a 1-1 count and struck out. Blair took over at pitcher for the Sooners after the interuption of play.
OU went ahead 5-3 with three runs in the top of the seventh as Cornejo hit a triple off the wall in right center field, bringing Willits home from first. KU pitcher Jake Wright then threw a wild pitch, plating Cornejo, and Frasier hit an RBI single.
The Sooners added three more runs in the ninth inning, when Frasier ripped his 10th home run of the season, a three run shot, off the scoreboard in right field. Cornejo walked to lead off the inning, Fransz singled and both men scored on the first baseman's home run.
Oklahoma and the Jayhawks will battle for a second time Saturday at approximately 3 p.m. and David Purcey (4-3) will make the start for the Sooners. OU and KU will wrap up the series on Sunday at 1 p.m. OU will then travel to Wichita, Kan., and battle the No. 10 Wichita State Shockers on Monday at 7 p.m. The game had been scheduled as a tentative make-up game and since both teams can play an extra game under the NCAA's 56-game rule, the contest will take place.
