Early Innings Doom Sooners in Opener at WVU
May 07, 2021 | Baseball
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The Oklahoma baseball team dropped its series opener at West Virginia 7-1 Friday at Monongalia County Ballpark.
Wyatt Olds (3-5) struck out eight batters over 6.2 innings and second baseman Conor McKenna drove in a run for the Sooners (22-22, 6-10 Big 12). The Mountaineers (17-21, 7-12 Big 12) scored four runs in the first inning and two in the second, then added a run in the seventh.
McKenna hit an RBI single in the fourth inning. His base hit scored designated hitter Jimmy Crooks, who reached on an error and stole second. Left fielder Diego Muniz and catcher Justin Mitchell also singled for OU.
Beginning with the third inning, Olds retired 13 of the next 15 batters, including 10 in a row through the first out of the seventh. Ben Abram retired the final batter of the seventh inning and Javier Ramos tossed a scoreless eighth inning.
West Virginia's first inning runs came on a solo home run by left fielder Paul McIntosh and a three-run inside-the-park homer by designated hitter Nathan Blasick. In the second, catcher Matt McCormick doubled in a run and first baseman Byorick Hudson hit an RBI single. WVU starter Jackson Wolf (4-5) struck out 11 over 7.0 innings.
The Sooners and Mountaineers will play a doubleheader Saturday beginning at 2 p.m., with approximately 30 minutes between games. The series finale was moved up a day due to the inclement weather in the forecast for Sunday.
