Sooners Drop Finale to New Orleans

March 20, 2022 | Baseball

NORMAN – Sebastian Orduno notched two hits and two RBIs, but the Oklahoma baseball team fell to New Orleans 11-5 Sunday afternoon in the series rubber game at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
Ā 
Orduno hit a two-run double in the eighth inning and OU loaded the bases on a pair of free passes, but a strikeout ended the inning. The Sooners (12-7) tallied 10 walks and nine hits in the game but were unable to overcome UNO's big innings. The Privateers (12-6) took advantage of 12 hits and four errors to score three runs in the first inning, two in the second and four runs in the eighth.
Ā 
Diego Muniz doubled home Oklahoma's first run, scoring Tanner Tredaway in the fourth inning to make it 6-1. In the fifth, Peyton Graham doubled off the left center field wall, scoring Jackson Nicklaus from first base. The Sooners made it 7-3 in the sixth inning when Tredaway walked and scored on a base hit by Max McGwire.
Ā 
Trailing 7-3, OU had two runners on base to start the seventh inning after singles by Orduno and Nicklaus. The Sooners loaded the bases in the eighth after Orduno's two-run double, and put two runners on base in the ninth inning before a double play ended the game.
Ā 
New Orleans scored two unearned runs in the first inning on a dropped sacrifice fly that allowed two runs, followed by an RBI groundout. In the second inning, a double, error, sacrifice squeeze bunt and groundout scored two more runs. The Privateers added a run in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Pearce Howard and another in the sixth on an RBI single by Amani Larry. UNO scored for more runs in the eighth inning on a solo home run by Tyler Bischke, a two-run single by Anthony Herron and a groundout.
Ā 
OU starter Chazz Martinez (2-2) took the loss while UNO starter Collin Horton (2-0) earned the win.
Ā 
The Sooners are scheduled to play at Wichita State at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, before opening Big 12 conference play against Baylor next weekend at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
