The Oklahoma Sooners walked into today’s game in the Men’s College World Series needing only a singular win against the Texas A&M Aggies in order to advance to the National Title Series. Skip Johnson’s crew has lost only two games during this postseason (once in Gainesville, once in Blacksburg) and the pitching guru went with David Sandlin to start the game while being dubbed the home team. Early, and often, Sandlin was dealing from the mound — stranding base runners and striking Aggies out.
Meanwhile, the Sooners’ bats were hot to start the game, getting off to an early 3-0 lead by way of a Crooks home run that plated Peyton Graham and Blake Robertson.
