DALLAS –
Tanner Tredaway notched three hits for the seventh time this season, but the Oklahoma baseball team dropped its midweek contest at Dallas Baptist 10-1 Tuesday evening at Horner Ballpark.
The Sooners (27-16) scored a run in the seventh inning on an RBI single by
Wallace Clark and totaled eight hits in the game. The Patriots (27-17) scored a run in the first inning and three runs in the third, then made it 7-0 after a two-run fifth inning before adding three more in the eighth.
"They got the hits with men in scoring position, and we didn't," Oklahoma head coach
Skip Johnson said. "That's really the simplest thing you can say. They had about six or seven infield hits. It's just one of those deals."
In the seventh inning,
Brett Squires reached on a one-out pinch-hit single and scored on a base hit by Clark. Tredaway singled in each of his first two at bats and again with one out in the eighth inning. OU left two runners on base in the first, seventh and eighth frames.
DBU scored in the first inning on a double by Andrew Benefield and scored three runs in the third on a home run by Miguel Santos and singles by Cole Moore and Blayne Jones. Moore also singled in a run in the fourth and had two RBIs in the game. Santos went 3 for 3, drove in three runs and scored three runs. The Patriots scored runs in the eighth inning on two infield singles and a wild pitch.
Braden Carmichael (3-2) went 2.1 innings in the start for OU. DBU starter Peyton Sherlin (3-0) earned the win.
Nicholas Andrews and
Carter Campbell entered on the mound with one out in the sixth and seventh innings, and each recorded a complete scoreless inning.
Andrews induced a double play to the first batter he faced and got a groundout to start the seventh inning. Campbell ended the seventh with two fly ball outs and got the first batter of the eighth to ground out. On the double play in the sixth inning, Clark fielded the grounder, stepped on third base and made an off-balance throw across the diamond in time to complete the play at first.
The Sooners return to Big 12 conference play this weekend at TCU in Fort Worth, Texas. Game times are 6 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.
