NORMAN, Okla. -- No. 23 Oklahoma dropped its second straight game on Wednesday with an 8-2 decision to Dallas Baptist at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
A day after their eight-game winning streak was snapped at Oklahoma State in a non-conference meeting, the Sooners were unable to get back on the winning track.
“You just have to wash it and come back and play new every day,” said OU Head Coach Sunny Golloway. “Our leaders have to be able to do that.”
For the second straight game, OU took a 1-0 lead in the first inning after Max White scored on back-to-back errors committed by the DBU defense. White ripped a two-out double to right center field to extend his hitting streak to five games.
The 1-0 lead was extinguished in the top of the fourth inning as DBU took advantage of two Sooner errors and plated three runs off OU starter Dillon Overton.
The three-run fourth inning was all Trey Calhoun needed to improve to 3-1 in the start. Calhoun lasted five innings and gave up an unearned run off three hits and a walk.
Overton left the game after five innings with two earned runs allowed off five hits and two walks. Overton struck out seven batters before Steven Bruce opened the sixth inning on the mound for the Sooners.
After a scoreless sixth inning, Bruce was tagged by Austin Elkins, who homered to lead off the DBU seventh inning.
The Sooners countered with a two-out rally that included a RBI single by White, but that was all the offense OU could tally off six hits in the game. White was the only Sooner to collect multiple hits, the fifth straight game he has done so, as he finished with two base knocks and has 12 in the last five games.
“They are just not hitting right now,” said Golloway on the Sooners' bats. “We have a lot of things not going right right now. Hopefully things will start going right for us, that's baseball. Sometimes you are not as good as you look some days and not as bad as you look on others.”
The Patriots broke the game open with four runs in the ninth inning off two more Sooner errors.
“The small things are getting better, we have to get better,” said White.
OU travels to Lawrence, Kan., to battle the Jayhawks in a three-game series over the weekend. Friday's series opener is set for 6 p.m. at Hoglund Park.
“Our chance to get back in it (Big 12 standings) and hopefully have a chance to go to the NCAA tournament is winning Big 12 games, its that simple. We have to win Big 12 games.”
