Texas-OU

What a wild one in Oklahoma city! Texas and Oklahoma went back and forth today with both teams needing todays game. Texas got off to a fast start scoring two runs each in three of the first four innings of the game to get out to a 6-1 lead. Oklahoma battled back scoring six runs in the seventh inning to pull ahead. Texas scored one run in the bottom of the seventh and eight to pull ahead 8-7. Texas then fell a part in the top of the 9th inning. A leadoff double, miscommunication on a sacrifice bunt, an error, and a couple of walks lead a three run inning for Oklahoma to pull ahead 10-8. Texas put together a couple of hits together and got one run on an rbi single and the game tying run on a past ball. With short stop David Hernandez down 0-2 in the count, he singled into left field to drive in the game winning run, scored by Brandon Belt. It was fitting for Belt to score since he struggled in the top of the ninth. Oklahoma is now eliminated from the Big 12 championship game tomorrow and now only Texas or Mizzou can go from this pool. Texas needs a Mizzou loss to A&M to advance to Sunday and Mizzou needs to win to advance. Not sure on a time yet for the baseball game since the Texas-Oklahoma game just ended, but the table is now set for Mizzou to advance.
