Sooners Drop Saturday Contest to Texas Tech
April 15, 2023 | Baseball
NORMAN – Oklahoma baseball dropped the second game of its three-game weekend set to Texas Tech 9-5 at L. Dale Mitchell Park on Saturday.
The Sooners were first on the board with a run in each of the first and second innings on a pair of groundouts.
After OU starter Braxton Douthit faced the minimum in the opening frame, the Sooners had runners on the corner after a walk by junior first baseman Anthony Mackenzie and a single by junior right fielder Bryce Madron. The Red Raiders turned a double play for the first outs of the inning, but Mackenzie raced home.
In the second frame, sophomore centerfielder John Spikerman reached on an error by the TTU shortstop and the Sooners had runners on first and second after a walk by sophomore second baseman Jackson Nicklaus. A ground out advanced the duo and another ground out plated Spikerman from third.
The Red Raider offense exploded for five runs in the third. With one out, Texas Tech tallied back-to-back walks and a bunt single to load the bases. Kevin Bazzell laced a single to left that plated one run and another run crossed the plate on an error. Following another walk, a single up the middle scored two.
Down to their last out, Texas Tech's Dylan Maxcey pushed a single through the left side, plating the final run of the inning.
TTU added to its tally with three runs in the fourth. Bazzell slashed a double to left center to score the first run. In the next at bat, Gavin Kash tallied a two-run home run.
Nicklaus, who tallied a team-high three RBI on Friday night, blasted a three-run home run in the bottom half of the inning. It was Nicklaus' fifth homer of the season.
With a three-run cushion, the Red Raiders tacked on an additional insurance run in the sixth. With one out, Bazzell singled and advanced to second on an error. Kash laced a single to right, scoring Bazzell to reach the final 9-5 tally.
Reliever Carter Campbell pitched two scoreless innings and faced seven batters. Kale Davis faced the minimum in the ninth. Douthit pitched the first four frames and earned the loss (4-2). Texas Tech reliever Ryan Free tossed five scoreless innings and recorded nine strikeouts to improve to 4-3.

The two programs conclude the series on Sunday. First pitch is at 2 p.m. inside L. Dale Mitchell Park.
