Sooners Drop Series Finale to No. 7 Stanford

April 02, 2023 | Baseball

NORMAN – After winning the two previous contests against the Cardinal, Oklahoma baseball dropped the series finale to No. 7 Stanford 16-5 on Sunday afternoon. The Sooners and Cardinal split the four-game series.

The two programs traded runs in the first and it remained tied through four innings.

The potent Cardinal offense exploded for five runs in the fifth, opening their scoring efforts with a double that plated one run. Stanford closed its scoring spurt with a two-run home run by Malcolm Moore.

Oklahoma tallied its second run of the contest in the bottom of the fifth on a home run by junior shortstop Anthony Mackenzie.

With a 6-2 advantage, Stanford added a trio of runs in the sixth. The Cardinal tacked on the first run of the inning on a triple by Tommy Troy and added their second run on a double down the left field line in the next at bat. After a strikeout, Carter Graham stole third and scored on a throwing error.

Both squads were held scoreless in their respective half innings before the Sooners tallied three runs of their own in the seventh.

Redshirt junior left fielder Kendall Pettis, who launched a two-run homer in the Saturday contest, opened the inning with a one out double to left. Mackenzie reached on a bouncing ground ball and the Sooners had runners on the corners.

Junior right fielder Bryce Madron slapped a single through the right side of the infield, plating Pettis. The Sooners added their second run of the inning on a fielder's choice. Back-to-back singles by pinch hitter Sebastian Orduno and freshman designated hitter Easton Carmichael allowed sophomore center fielder John Spikerman to score.

Stanford tacked on five and two runs in the eighth and ninth, respectively.

The Sooners used seven pitchers and starter Will Carsten received the loss (1-1), pitching 4.2 innings with three strikeouts. Joey Dixon earned the win (3-0) and pitched six innings with eight strikeouts.

Mackenzie and Carmichael each recorded a pair of hits.

Madron finished the four-game set 8 for 14 at the plate and recorded two home runs and a team-high seven RBI. Mackenzie logged a team-high six walks and matched Madron with two home runs.
