Big 12 baseball notebook: OU's Jake Irvin takes shot to the face

Oklahoma starting pitcher Jake Irvin had a scare in the fourth inning of Wednesday's eventual 6-0 loss to West Virginia when he was hit in the face by a foul ball in the fourth inning.

“His eye was swelled up,” Sooners coach Pete Hughes said. “We had to take a delay and glue him together and stick a Band-Aid on him and let him go out there and pitch again. He was fine. … He's a tough kid; that's why we recruited him.”

Irvin didn't make it out of the fourth, though, giving up a pair of bunt singles in the fourth before Kyle Davis' three-run home run put the Mountaineers up 4-0.
