Coastal Carolina walks off on Oklahoma’s marathon day of baseball

Coastal Carolina walked off on Oklahoma’s marathon day of baseball and put a win over a ranked team on its resume in the process.

Cory Wood’s run-scoring single up the middle with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning gave Coastal a 4-3 win over the Sooners, who played 7 ½ hours of baseball Saturday after opening their season with a 6-3 win over Indiana in the Brittain Resorts Baseball at the Beach tournament.

The Sooners (1-2), ranked 18th in the nation in Perfect Game USA’s preseason rankings, lost 6-5 to South Alabama in 12 innings about 45 minutes prior to the first pitch against Coastal at Springs Brooks Stadium.
