Sooner Baseball


The Sooners are playing the best baseball of the season now. Many claim that they were a bust. I would agree because they were picked to win the Big 12 and be a Championship contender. The Sooners struggled with adversity and arguments within the teams and coaches. Coach Golloway got on to his players in a team meeting as well as in a press conference. This changed the hole attitude of this team.

Since the press conference the Sooners beat Nebraska twice (the third game got rained out) and beat number 10 TCU for the second time this season. The Sooners look like a hole new team since this movement went through the team. Captain Tyler Ogle went up to coach Golloway and told him the things that were going wrong causing this team not to play well. It was then up to Coach Golloway and Ogle to turn this team around and thats exactly what they did.

The Sooners moved up to number three in the Big 12 and number ten in the NCBWA. Oklahoma will play a crucial series against Texas this weekend. If the sooners win this series they will move up to number two in the Big 12. Texas is number 8 in the league at batting following the Sooners at .264. Michael Rocha will get the start in game 1 for the Sooners. I think that OU must win game one to have a chance at the series. The team who wins game one will have the momentum and the confidence to finish up the series.
