NORMAN, Okla. -- Jack Mayfield won his second consecutive start after 6 2/3 innings and improved to 4-0 as the No. 14 Sooners rebounded on Saturday with a 14-6 victory over Memphis.
"We came out with intensity, defensively," said OU Head Coach Sunny Golloway. " It's funny how sometimes you come out and you are able to take control of the game because of an outstanding pitching performance, maybe like Jack Mayfield last Sunday. Or sometimes offensively, a team comes out and jumps on top. I thought we responded with our gloves today. We took some hits away from them.
"We didn't have the intensity we needed yesterday but we clearly had it today."
After dropping a 4-3 contest on Friday night, Oklahoma (36-14) jumped on top early and often behind Mayfield's performance which included six scoreless innings. Mayfield had not allowed an earned run in the past 25 frames, including 15 straight scoreless innings, until the two scores by Memphis (26-25) in the seventh.
"I thought we set the tone with our intensity defensively, and that really helped Mayfield because he might have given up some runs if it wasn't for our defensive play. He keeps hitters off balance and he locates and he gets ahead. That's what he does."
Cameron Seitzer (3 RBI) helped pace the OU offense with his team-leading 13th home run of the year in the fifth to go along with a RBI single and a RBI ground out.
Seitzer was one of three Sooners to homer on the afternoon as freshman Max White (2-for-3, four runs, two RBI) knocked his 12th homer of the year over the fence in left-center field in the fourth inning and Bryan Groth added his third in the seventh.
The attack, which included the Sooners' 22nd multiple home run game, 14 base knocks and six Sooners with multiple hits, came one day after OU recorded five hits and stranded eight runners in a loss. OU has plated 10 or more runs in six of the last 11 games and is 17-1 overall on the season when scoring double digits.
The Sooners struck first as Max White scored all the way from first base on Garrett Buechele's double down the left-field line. In the next at-bat, Seitzer drove in Buechele (2-for-4, 2 RBI) on a single up the middle.
In the fourth, OU chased Memphis starter Brennon Martin (4-6) with four more runs thanks to Tyler Ogle's RBI single, Chris Ellison's RBI single and White's two-run homer. The long ball marked the eighth straight game that a Sooner has homered as OU leads the Big 12 with 77.
Seitzer led off the fifth with his team-leading 13th home run of the year and OU batted around the order in the seventh for the 20th time this season to plate five more runs and put the game completely out of reach. Groth helped highlight the big inning with his third home run of the year. Groth will join OU's six other seniors on Sunday in a pregame ceremony honoring the upper classmen.
The series finale on Sunday is set 1 p.m. at L. Dale Mitchell Park. The game can be heard on the Sooner Sports Network, KREF 1400 AM, and it will be simulcast on Cox Ch. 3 in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
