OU Completes Sweep of Gonzaga
May 14, 2023 | Baseball
SPOKANE, Wash. — Anthony Mackenzie and Bryce Madron each registered three hits and James Hitt pitched 7.0 innings to lead the Oklahoma baseball team to a 9-1 win at Gonzaga Sunday at Patterson Baseball Complex.
Hitt (5-0) struck out five and allowed just one walk while eclipsing five frames in his seventh straight start. The Sooners (29-22) jumped out to a 6-0 lead after two innings and added three more runs in the fourth and fifth stanzas. The Bulldogs (18-30) scored their lone run in the second inning.
Seven different OU batters recorded one RBI in the game. John Spikerman, Wallace Clark and Diego Muniz each notched two hits for Oklahoma, which finished with 15 hits, which were all singles. In fact, all 26 combined hits between the teams on Sunday were singles. The Sooners totaled 44 hits in the series, and 37 of those were single-base hits.
"The offense was really, really good and set the tone today," Oklahoma head coach Skip Johnson said. "Jamie was able to focus on just making pitches and I thought he was really good. Our offense just played really well today."
Oklahoma scored two runs quickly in the first inning. Mackenzie, Madron and Dakota Harris hit three consecutive singles to begin the game, bringing in the first run. Kendall Pettis followed with a sacrifice fly to plate Madron. The Sooners took advantage of a one-out walk and four straight hits in the second inning to score four more runs.
Gonzaga scored in the second inning on an RBI single by Mason Marenco, but Hitt needed only six pitches to get through five batters in the frame. The lefty rolled a double play to end the third, retired the side in order in the fourth and worked around singles in the next three stanzas to cap his outing.
The Sooners added a run in the fourth inning on four straight hits, including one by Madron that scored Muniz. Spikerman and Easton Carmichael had back-to-back RBI hits in the fifth inning to reach the 9-1 margin.
Carson Pierce relieved Hitt to start the eighth inning and struck out two over 2.0 scoreless frames. GU starter Bradley Mullan (3-3) took the loss.
After playing seven straight on the road (with a 5-2 record), Oklahoma returns home to L. Dale Mitchell Park for four games this week. The Sooners play host to UT Arlington at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday before Oklahoma State comes to Norman for a three-game Bedlam Big 12 set Thursday through Saturday.
