LAWRENCE, Kan. – With Oklahoma Baseball leading 8-1 in the bottom of the third inning of its NCAA Super Regional game at No. 15-seed Kansas on Sunday evening, the game was halted due to lightning in the area and will be resumed on Monday at noon CT. The conclusion of the contest will air on ESPN2.
OU, as the home team for the second game of the Super Regional, scored a run in the bottom of the first inning when center fielder Jason Walk scored from third base on a double play groundout. After KU tied the game on an RBI single by Jordan Bach in the top of the second, the Sooners responded with six runs in the bottom half to move ahead 7-1.
Right fielder Dasan Harris knocked an RBI single through the infield and left fielder Brendan Brock came home on a safety squeeze bunt single by second baseman Kyle Branch. Third baseman Camden Johnson drew a bases-loaded walk, catcher Deiten Lachance lined a two-run single to left field. Brock was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to cap the second-inning scoring. It was the second time in the frame he was hit by a pitch, as OU sent 12 batters to the plate.
First baseman Dayton Tockey led off the home half of the third inning with a 402-foot home run to right center field to make it 8-1. It was his eighth homer of the season, sixth in the last nine games and his third straight game with a home run. He has five home runs in just more than six NCAA Tournament games (OU is playing its seventh game of the NCAA postseason).
Oklahoma freshman Xander Mercurius made his third start of the season (all in his last three outings) and had completed 3.0 innings, striking out five batters and allowing one run on three hits and a walk. The Sooners chased Kansas starter Mason Cook with one out in the second inning and were batting against Boede Rahe, KU's third pitcher of the game, in the bottom of the third inning.
Tockey was the only batter to complete an at bat in the bottom of the third inning played Sunday evening. When the game resumes on Monday, Branch will be batting in a 3-1 count with no runners on base and no outs.
