For the first time in this year’s Men’s College World Series, I noticed that the Oklahoma Baseball Snurs are behind the eight-ball.
After progressing 3-0 to advance to the MCWS Championship series, Sooners will play two games in a row with a very good Ole Miss team ready to leave things together on Sunday at Charles Schwabfield in Omaha. I realized I had to win. At its first national championship.
The bad news is that Oklahoma (45-23) lost to Olemis 10-3 in Game 1 of the Championship series on Saturday and looked like his own shell these days. The Snurs performance did not have a phase in which it was possible to win a very important victory in the opening game.
Fortunately, the Snurs are still alive in their quest to bring back a third national title, but the job is clearly difficult.
Saturday’s match began innocently by retiring the first two rebels faced by OU starter Jake Bennett, but Bennett wild pitched after two-out singles x three-hole batter Tim Elco. I was able to take the second base. Kevin Graham, who was scored by Elco, another wild pitch, and shortstop Peyton Graham, couldn’t come up with a ground ball by Kemp Alderman, and Graham returned home with a rebel second base. Was completed. Everything that comes after the two come out.
Before the Suners entered the bat in the opening inning, they noticed that they were lagging behind in the game for the first time in the 2022 College World Series.
It was early to see that Sooner Ace Bennett had a command problem and Sooner was digging a dangerous hole.
In the rebel’s second at-bat, Bennett struck out the first two Oremis batters and then handed over the single to Calvin Harris with a 0-2 count. Harris to take second. Then, with a two-ball count, Rebel lead-off batter Justin Bench scored 3-0 on the right side of Uchino’s scoring Harris.
Elco hit Bennett at the top of the top of the third inning with a home run just inside the right-wing foul pole, increasing Olemis’ advantage to 4-0.
Right-handed Jack Doherty, a sophomore at the University of Mississippi, dominates the mound, not allowing 5 innings to hit, despite having a pedestrian 4-3 record and a game with an ERA close to 5. did. Nevertheless, he had a Snurs number this evening.
However, Doherty ran into a problem with Sooner’s sixth. Jackson Nicklaus When Sebastian Orduno I opened the frame with a back-to-back single. A slow error by rebel third baseman Garrettwood allowed Nicklaus to win his first Oklahomaran. John Spykerman I took Dougherty for a walk and loaded the base. And when freshman Nichols entered Dougherty’s bailout, he was forced to change his pitching.
Nichols defeated both Peyton Graham When Blake Robertson I shook but walked Tanner Toledaway With 5 pitches to win Orduno. Jimmy Crook Grounded to finish the innings, leaving a base of three snares, but for the first time in the game, the OU attack showed some life and the deficit was narrowed to a more manageable two-run.
However, as things turned out, Oklahoma’s attack left no comeback, and the hopes of the second half of the rally soon ended with four runs of Oremis, eight times, supported by a series of home runs. From OU relief Chazz Martinez, Ole Miss lineup 8, 9, lead-off batter. After that, as far as Game 1 was concerned, I turned off the lights and warmed the bath.
Elco had four hits with the advent of five plates of Oremis, as the rebel lineup ransacked five Oklahoma pitchers with 16 hits. On the Sooner side, OU’s outstanding Peyton Graham hit three swings with four at bats at MCWS. Sooners had only 5 hits in the game.
Olemis dominated the game, but the Snurs contributed significantly to their own demise with unstable pitching, with too many good pitches due to early-count strikes and featureless field mistakes. I took it.
The Suners now need to put all of this behind them.They experienced a similar meltdown in Game 2 of the Blacksburg Super Regional against Virginia Tech, but set it all aside, decisive for its powerful offensive performance and great pitching from freshman right-handed. I’m back in game 3 Cade HortonFace the same challenges as the Sooner Starter in Game 2 of the Championship Series on Sunday afternoon.
Will Sooners seize the momentum that is clearly on the side of Ole Miss and fight enough to force the winner-Take-AllGame 3 on Monday? Both teams will be back on the field just 16 hours after the end of Game 1, so it’s easy to see.
One thing that is clearly clear is that Oklahoma has to get off to a much better start than Game 1 and return to the overall balance of reaching this championship point in the postseason.
Something else that the Suners can keep in mind as they wake up on Sunday and get ready for Game 2 is that each of the last three national champions has lost the opening game of the MCWS Championship series, all. It is a rebound to win.
There is only one Oklahoma, and now is the time!
