NORMAN, Okla. – Oklahoma baseball makes a quick turnaround this week as its attention heads back to Big 12 play with a three-game series against Kansas. Game one of the series gets underway Thursday night at 6:00 pm.
Oklahoma is 19-12 overall and 3-3 in Big 12 play following a 7-0 shutout-win over Central Arkansas. Junior center fielder Craig Aikin is just five hits away from 200 in his career and leads the Sooners with a .357 batting average. Junior Kolbey Carpenter ranks second on the team at .336 with 23 RBI and a team-high .584 slugging percentage and six home runs. Redshirt-senior right fielder Taylor Alspaugh (.310), sophomore shortstop Sheldon Neuse (.308) and junior Anthony Hermelyn (.300) round out a group of five all hitting .300-or-better. Alspaugh is hitting .450 (9-for-20) in Big 12 games and Neuse has driven in a team-high 28 runs, while going deep five times. Sophomore right-handers Jake Elliott (3-3) and Alec Hansen (3-3) have been mainstays in the OU rotaion, combining for 102 strikeouts in 97 innings of work.
