NORMAN, Okla. -- Erik Ross singled in the game-winning run to break a scoreless tie in the 10th inning on Saturday in game one of the series against No. 2 Baylor. The 1-0 win for the Sooners snapped the Bears' undefeated streak in Big 12 play, which ended after 18 games.

Oklahoma improved to 31-19 overall and 11-10 in Big 12 play. Baylor dropped to 39-9 and 18-1.

Ross came up to the plate in the 10th with two outs and Evan Mistich on second base and Garrett Carey at first. Mistich singled to lead off the frame and then moved to second on a failed bunt attempt by Caleb Bushyhead, which flew back to the screen behind home plate and was caught by Baylor catcher Josh Ludy. Ross' single was his first hit of the game and sixth of the day for the Sooners.

Baylor also collected six hits in the game but Jordan John held them scoreless with 8 2/3 innings with five hits and two walks allowed. John struck out five Bears before giving way to Steven Okert. John had tossed three straight complete games entering today and was tied for the Big 12 lead with four on the season.

Okert allowed just one hit in his 1 1/3 innings to improve to 6-6 on the season. Baylor reliever Dillon Newman (3-2) took the loss with two hits, one walk and one run allowed.

Bears' starter Josh Turley was also impressive with seven scoreless innings and three hits allowed to go along with six strikeouts.
