Sooners Fall to Red Raiders in Extra Inning Affair
April 14, 2023 | Baseball
NORMAN – Jackson Nicklaus recorded three RBI and forced the game to extra innings with a RBI single in the bottom of the ninth, but Oklahoma baseball dropped the series opener against No. 21 Texas Tech 13-7 on Friday night at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
Down 6-5, catcher Diego Muniz opened the ninth with a double down the right field line. Kade Fletcher replaced Muniz on the base paths and scored on a single to right by Nicklaus.
The Red Raiders plated seven runs in the 10th on a pair of singles, a bases loaded walk and a grand slam.
Sophomore center fielder John Spikerman smacked his first home run of the season in the bottom half of the inning to reach the final tally.
Texas Tech opened the contest with a run in the first and second innings. Oklahoma tallied its first run on a triple by Nicklaus in the second.
The Sooners captured the lead after a three-run third inning.
Sophomore third baseman Wallace Clark tallied a two-out double and was joined on the base paths by designated hitter Caden Powell, who walked in the next at bat.
Muniz ripped a double down the right field line, plating Clark and Powell. The Sooners had runners on the corners after Muniz stole third and Nicklaus earned the walk. Texas Tech made a pitching change after the free pass. The Red Raider reliever hit the first two batters and pushed across a run in the second at bat with the bases loaded.
The score remained 4-2 through five and the Red Raiders closed the gap with a solo run in the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly.
Texas Tech continued to find its rhythm at the plate and scored three runs in the seventh.
The Sooners narrowed the gap on a sacrifice fly by Nicklaus in their half of the inning.
Both programs were held scoreless in the eighth and a trio of Sooners pitched in the ninth, recording three strikeouts.
Muniz finished the contest 2 for 4 at the plate with two RBI and two doubles. Nicklaus led the Sooners with three RBI.
The Sooners used seven pitchers and starter James Hitt pitched 6.1 innings and allowed three earned runs with a pair of strikeouts. Reliever Aaron Weber earned the loss (0-2) and Tech's Brandon Beckel improved to 5-0.
