Run-ruled

The Norman Transcript

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Big 12 Championship was supposed to be an opportunity for Oklahoma to prove it belonged with college baseball’s elite.

However, the Sooners will have to wait until the NCAA Tournament to prove their case because in two games at Bricktown Ballpark they’ve been laughed right out of court.

Any hope of OU reaching the championship game ended with Friday’s 11-0 run-rule loss to Missouri.

OU coach Sunny Golloway was left scratching his head after the game.

“I really feel we’ve let down our fans,” he said. “I feel I’ve let down a lot of people personally that got on board with us as we closed in on the 40-win season. We haven’t had that kind of effort or performance in front of our home crowd. That’s been my disappointment for our fans, to not perform the way they would fill the ballpark and cheer our student athletes.”

The Sooners (39-19) had enough problems going into the game.

Missouri had its ace Max Scherzer on the mound and runs were going to be a tough chore.

But the Tiger ace was nearly unhittable in tossing a four-hitter. He struck out five and didn’t issue a walk. He hardly broke a sweat in improving to 7-1.

“I thought Scherzer was everything he’s advertised to be, a right-handed college pitcher who will absolutely blow you away with his fastball,” Golloway said.

But third-seeded OU gave itself no chance after giving up five runs in the bottom of the first inning.

Ryan Lollis and J.C. Field both had two-run singles in the frame.

But the Sooners inflicted most of the damage on themselves.

Only two of the runs were earned thanks to errors by shortstop Freddy Rodriguez and third baseman Ryan Rohlinger.

All told, only three of the Tigers’ runs were earned.

It was the nightmare scenario for OU.
