Sooners Slug Past Privateers to Even Series
March 19, 2022 | Baseball
NORMAN – Blake Robertson tallied three hits and Tanner Tredaway drove in three runs as the Oklahoma baseball team evened the series against New Orleans with a 13-8 victory Saturday afternoon at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
The Sooners (12-6) sprinted out to a 10-0 lead after three innings, scoring four runs in the first and five more in the third. The Privateers (11-6) made it more interesting with a five-run fifth, but OU scored twice in the sixth and once more in the eighth before holding off UNO, which added three runs in the ninth.
Oklahoma's 13 runs and 19 hits were season highs. Robertson went 4 for 5 and drove in two runs, Tredaway had three hits and Jimmy Crooks scored four times. OU notched four stolen bases, raising its total to 47 through 18 games and eclipsing the total of 46 steals from the 2021 season.
"I thought (David) Sandlin was good early and Carter (Campbell) was outstanding," Oklahoma head coach Skip Johnson said. "The offense was incredible getting those runs, then losing the momentum and gaining the momentum back. It was a great offensive day for our club."
The Sooners wasted no time getting into a rhythm at the plate. Peyton Graham and Robertson hit back-to-back singles to lead off the bottom of the first. Diego Muniz then grounded out to score Graham, Tredaway hit a two-run single and Trent Brown singled home another run to make it 4-0. In the second inning, Graham doubled and scored on a base hit by Robertson.
OU kept it rolling in the third inning, beginning with three straight singles by Max McGwire, Cade Horton and Jackson Nicklaus to load the bases. A sacrifice fly by Graham, RBI single by Robertson and sacrifice squeeze bunt by Muniz plated three runs. Crooks followed with a double down the right field line and Tredaway doubled into right center to bring the lead to 10-0.
The Sooners tacked on two runs in the sixth to make it 12-5. McGwire notched his first career RBI with a base hit up the middle and Horton followed with a single through the left side of the infield. OU made it 13-5 in the bottom of the eighth when Crooks doubled and scored on a wild pitch.
New Orleans cut it to 10-5 in the fifth inning on an RBI double by Amani Larry, a sacrifice fly and a two-run home run by Jeissy De la Cruz. The Privateers made it 13-8 in the ninth inning on a three-run home run by Miguel Useche.
Colton Sundloff (2-0) got the final out of the fifth inning in relief of starter David Sandlin, who allowed only three hits through the first four innings. Carter Campbell held the game with scoreless sixth, seventh and eighth innings. UNO starter Brandon Mitchell (0-2) took the loss.
The Sooners and Privateers play a rubber game at 2 p.m. Sunday at Mitchell Park.
