Oct. 26, 2009

NORMAN, Okla. -- Game two of the Red/White series will get underway at 2 p.m. on Tuesday at L. Dale Mitchell Park. Junior Michael Rocha will take the mound for the Red Team while junior Luis Collazo will start for the White Team.

Each game of the series is free and open to the public.

The White Team claimed a 10-4 victory in game one on Sunday behind junior Zach Neal's five inning performance and Garrett Buechele's two RBIs.

"After the victory, I told the guys they have to continue to take it one game at a time," said White captain Jeremy Erben. "We know winning the series is going to be a challenge.

"We feel like we have had good preparation and have the right game plan to be successful throughout the Red/White Series."

The Red Team is looking to even the series after giving up 10 runs in game one. After playing the role of visitors in game one and two, the Red Team will switch to the home side and have the game's final at-bat in the last three games.

"We have to take it game by game and not dwell on a bad performance," said Red captain Ross Hubbard. "I am confident our guys will bounce back."

Freshman Drew Harrison led the Red with two hits and three RBIs, including a solo home run, as senior J.R. Robinson lasted four innings in the defeat.
