The Sooners made it 22 wins on Friday, the most among teams from major conferences, with an 11-3 road victory over Baylor in their conference opener. For more than half the contest, however, the game appeared to be going in quite the opposite direction.
Oklahoma put itself in jeopardy right from the opening pitch. Sooner starter Dylan Grove walked the bases loaded before getting the first out, and Baylor put up a two spot in the opening frame. OU managed just two hits over the first five frames and trailed the hometown Bears 3-1 entering the sixth.
